I'm truly repulsed by those of you who are shouting "privilege" at us even as you send your kids off to your very safe charter or safe public. Its not even in this city, it's not even close, and you need to check YOUR privilege. POC are carrying the brunt of this illness and white people should stop trying to talk for them and stop trying to suggest that a family who is keeping their child home in fear is somehow not equipped to make that decision, and need YOU to make the decision for them. That's a terrible thing to do to people who can and are speaking for themselves. [/quote]

+1 the DCUM echo chamber isn’t real (and frankly is probably filled with folks who don’t even live in the district. [/quote]

I know it's hard to come to grips with the fact that you created legal child abuse.  But you did, Jan.  It's real.[/quote]

Spoken like someone who has no idea what child abuse really is. There’s the real privilege. [/quote]

Yeah, Jan.  I do.  That's why this portion of the bill is so foul.  Scream all you want.[/quote]

I don’t need to scream. Elected officials are listening to me. [shrug][/quote]

Privileged much?

It's grotesque that you are all gloating about [b]legalizing child abuse[/b].  [/quote]

There are not enough eye rolls on the internet for this but I’ll try.  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:  :roll: [/quote]

Explain to me how we will catch cases of educational neglect now.[/quote]

The school will report it. Just like they do now. [/quote]

What? To whom? They can't get CPS involved if the family says they're keeping the kids out of school bc of COVID.[/quote]

Apparently you can’t read. The school can still report to CPS. This just gives them the choice not to. For a very short period of time. [/quote]

you are reading the wrong paragraph about absences due to quarantine. look at the one above it about excused absences. excused absences are not a basis for triggering reports to cps.[/quote]

No. You’re reading the resolution. Not the actual legislation. [/quote]

Can you link to that?[/quote]
