[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s inherently privileged. It is not inherently racist.

There was advice in the NYT article to invite economically disadvantaged students to join your pods. I doubt anyone on DCUM will.[/quote]

This. People have also suggested that, while you do what is best for your family, put a little time/energy in ensuring equity for others. For instance, encourage your schools to get technology out to everyone who needs it. The point is, for those of us with privilege, not to forget that others do not have privilege and still need our support/help in getting what they need. Whether that is inviting someone into your pod, donating to a cause helping others, or using your voice.[/quote]

Some white mommy needs to encourage the school to distribute technology to underserved kids?

Please tell me more...[/quote]

I’m not pp but yes, moms and dads of any race who have the time and bandwidth to help press for measures that help kids in danger of being left behind should do so. [/quote]

Oh FFS you missed my point. The school systems are WAY ahead of you. But by all means post about this on Facebook or something like it’s some offset for your transgressions.[/quote]

Yes, schools should definitely be trusted to provide equitable solutions for all students. No room for improvement there. [/quote]

Yes, they should. It’s hilarious that you think your virtue signaling will improve anything, though. You aren’t that consequential.[/quote]
