[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Rich people continue to consume luxury goods while claiming to care about equity and diversity and social justice.”

It’s ridiculous. [/quote]
It's not.  Only the poor/minorities/oppressed can do it?  I get that it's harder/less common for the rich to care, but it's hardly impossible.[/quote]

Because, at a school that charges +$40k/yr tuition with minimal true diversity, it’s no more than lip service. The school and the families can say they care all day long. But what are they actually doing about it? Better to skip the rhetoric all together. At least, in that, there would be a measure of integrity. [/quote]

Oh, FFS. If no effort were made you’d be complaining about that. Because efforts aren’t perfect, you’re  complaining about that. This is thinly disguised animosity towards a few elite schools, as if the schools were the engine of inequality and not a symptom. If all of the private schools disappeared tomorrow, it wouldn’t come close to solving our educational equity problem, or our social and economic inequity problems, for that matter. [/quote]
