[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m one of the PPs^^ and [b]I’ve never felt insecure about the decisions I made for my kids for school.[/b] What I’ve said - and others have too - is that Joe was so smug, sure of his viewpoint, clear-eyed, and judgmental about our decision-making. I think I used the word “disdain” about his negativity in those circumstances. What goes around, come around. Now he’s not so clear-eyed or sure when it’s his own kid. The article is his way of pretend, self-flagellation. They had already decided Malia is going to Walls.[/quote]

Evidence to the contrary. What you are writing comes off as very personal. Why on earth do you care? Why spend a minute carrying that much emotion or feeling his disdain? If you were my kid I'd be telling you that you are responsible for giving others power over you. Also, your certainty regarding what his ultimate decision was or is makes you no different or better than the smugness disdain or certainly that you so disliked coming from him.

Were you not so emotionally invested in this Wheedon character you might be able to see that. [/quote]
This is such a cop-out. "I can say all sorts of problematic things and call other people racist, etc. for making decisions for their children but if they feel insecure due to my words IT'S ON THEM!!!" [/quote]
