[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This entire conversation is facinating. The issues of race, class, and socioeconomic status bubble up all throughout this discussion.

All people - rich or middle class, black/white/asian/hispanic- will do what is best for their children.  Some people believe having children who can't keep up with the classes offered  or otherwise divert resources away from the majority of those who can work at a higher level would take away from their own children's education.

Its facinating because this county votes for democrats overall while actively protecting their own family and community from the impact of policies supported by democrats (i.e. ensuring that children flooding in from the border don't cross the threshold of their public schools, ensuring kids in apartments are sent to certain schools). Like it or not people can and will use their collective political power to do what is best for their children. Calling them names isn't going to stop that. [/quote]

Only people with enough money can get around the various difficulties imposed by government. (Democrats in this case)

Parks closed during the pandemic? Richer families have land and go online to order playsets. They move to get a yard if they were previously in a townhouse or high rise.

Schools closed during a pandemic? Go private, move to a spot where schools are open because you can work from your laptop, or hire a teacher and form a pod (if you are a ffx county school board member.

Feel that your child is being ignored in public school because there are so many  children there new to the country who need intensive help? Move to a different school zone, pay for private or homeschool.

It’s the middle class democrats who can’t make the above work out who vote blue consistently and then complain about the outcome. They are the ones who want to move kids here and there and everywhere.[/quote]
