[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am appalled by such a bunch of joyless, judgmental and thin-skinned posters with a disproportionate and selective sense of their own morality at a time a time of genuine suffering and need throughout this country, particularly amongst minority groups.

History is rife with oppression, subjugation and punishment based on race, religion and socioeconomic status. We can't change that but it is important we understand the past and how this affects the present. If you are going to judge everything by today's standards then at least be consistent. If you're going to ban pharoahs, then ban Roman emperors (they persecuted the Christians), Ancient Greeks (kept slaves), and definitely don't plan a vacation in Europe where you can marvel at the beautiful architecture and monuments built on the backs of empires and exploitation.

My greatest sympathies go out to people who have and continue to suffer from real disadvantage.  Those people who just want to dissect history and inconsistently perceive it through today's moral frameworks, you need to check your own hypocrisy and tunnel vision, especially at a time when so many people are suffering so badly in this country and around the world.  75% of the people who have died from covid in DC are black and yet, over here in the private school forum, we have the morality police scrutinising the costume of a hapless HOS as though it's their business.

I’m less concerned about why the HOS thinks a pharaoh is a superhero as I am about the teacher putting girls in Old South dresses for a fun civil war photo shoot. Indeed I would suggest that actions like that deepen the suffering you are also concerned about. [/quote]
