[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're gonna get a lot of "yes" responses here.  Bowser carried Upper Caucasia by a 2-1 margin, more than anywhere else in the city.  The purported reason?  She opened the schools, and Ward 3 parents are sooo concerned with the learning loss in poorer wards.  The real reason?  Closed schools were an inconvenience to THEM.

What happened when we opened schools? What happened when we dropped mask mandates? Did the urban genocide foretold by DC progressives unfold? Was the death warrant we were signing for teachers and Black children signed? No and no.

Closed schools are absolutely an inconvenience for EVERYONE. Particularly when there was no good reason to continue the policy, other than teachers attempting to use it as leverage indefinitely.[/quote]

DP.  But also, calling school closures an "inconvenience" is....so wildly out of touch.  [/quote]

Consistently throughout the closures, I was told by wealthy white women with nannies, tutors, and homes large enough to house them, that we all just needed to "sacrifice" for the good of everyone, that learning loss was a myth ("the kids will all catch up together!") and that thinking otherwise was racist because, after all, poor black and Hispanic families in DC wanted schools closed.

For these people, school closures really were an "inconvenience" and they are people who regularly solve inconveniences with money.

These people can go to hell. I'm glad Bowser won.[/quote]

So did white people want the schools closed - as you say - or did they want them open for their own convenience - as another PP said?

You voted for Bowser and are not white?
