[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or maybe those people from Bethesda are advocating for their kids at their overcrowded school (Bethesda ES, and Ashburton ES, where kids were sitting on upside down trashcans one year because their weren't enough chairs/desks).

So to be clear, it is ok to advocate for your kids at other schools, but Bethesda parents are not allowed to advocate for their kids because they are white, wealthy and whiny. 
Got it. [/quote]9

I keep hearing about the trashcans at Ashburton, but that has nothing to do with the overcrowdedness of the school. It just means there weren't enough chairs. Order some more chairs.

Also, nobody is stopping you from advocating. You are allowed to advocate for whatever you like, however you like (within the bounds of legal advocacy). And everybody else is allowed to say whatever they want about your advocacy (within the bounds of legal opinion-expressing). That's how it works.[/quote]

Ashburton has over 950 kids. That is way too many for an elementary school. And whenever anyone does advocate for a W school, DCUM accuses them of being wealthy, white, whiny, women. [/quote]

Yeah, that doesn't mean you're "not allowed" to advocate.  And you're assuming low-income and POC families are never dismissed or ignored when they advocate.  It's like white people who complain about affirmative action for POC without realizing this entire country is built on affirmative action for white people.  [/quote]
