Every point in here can be ripped to shreds by anyone with half a brain

I think my favorite ironic section is this one

I mean, just to be honest, in the culture that we live in, it’s about individualism. It’s about getting the upper hand. You have people writing letters for kindergarten students in New York City to get into a kindergarten program. So I think we just have to be realistic about that, the culture that we live in, and what history has shown us.  (Yes that will never go away why would anyone sacrifice their child on the altar of diversity or wokeness)

But I think the question for me is how should parents who may not have the means, but have the wherewithal, can create their own educational networks and communities to help them during the pandemic — and beyond. So that’s what I’ve been giving thought to — and to how educators and community organizations could be working directly with parents and families to meet those needs.  (You mean actually caring about education about time)

The focus needs to be shifting, for those who are focused on justice, from equity to emancipation. That means for students of color, for immigrant students, for others who have been marginalized in the U.S. school system, to recognize the system that they’re in and to begin to think about ways to liberate themselves from that.  (Perhaps I mean that's what some African Americans were doing almost 100 years ago creating separate systems)[/quote]
