Thanks for sharing.

This is fair and balanced compared to what the NYT puts out. I knew parents like Sara and Mark. I'm glad they included Alina Adams. If only the NYC public schools would welcome all families, instead of platforming LWNJ who favor in-group parents like themselves... that said, some parents would want private regardless.[/quote]

Wow. You have some MAGA angst. Step away from the Fox News. Not sure NYC is the right place for you. Betting your response will use one of the following terms: "woke" "TDS" "lib" "Mamdani".

And I find Alina Adams to be extremely hit or miss. I have read a lot of her posts and she is knowledgeable on some things but miles off on others. Wouldn't pay for her "expertise."[/quote]

Stop it right there! I bet you’re not even a New Yorker! Don’t tell people that have a different opinion on politics they may not belong here. Diversity is New York. You’re free to not like it or fight against it but we’re not gonna have some cookie cutter town because people are getting shamed over their ideas

I read it not as telling you you don’t belong but rather that you’re often not gonna be happy in NYC if you’re MAGA, which in light of your complaining about the schools and “LWNJ” seems fair.  Relax there bud.  [/quote]

Thank you. Exactly. They kind of proved my point. New Yorkers embrace diversity. But people who blindly trot out ignorant Fox News Propaganda speak are not embracing diversity. They blindly engaging in group think that is based in hatred of people different than themselves (and blaming these people for all of the world's problems), which runs counter to everything NYC stands for.

I loved having political discussions with true, old school conservatives. Our views might have varied a lot, but I could see where they were coming from. MAGA is far from that. I feel kind of bad for my old Republican friends because they morally can't stand Trump, but the Democratic party is pretty far from what they want also.[/quote]

No, I didn't prove your point. You clearly are not a NYC public school parent. Sorry, New Yorkers don't embrace diversity as much you think they do. And as I said, I don't watch Fox News. You might want to brush up on the horseshoe theory.[/quote]
