[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can the school legitimately prioritize kids for in person learning opportunities whose parents answer this question a certain way?  [/quote]

How paranoid are you? [/quote]

Very paranoid - this is a really weird question to have on this survey.  Also a weird question to force people to answer in a non-anonymous way.   I think schools should not be in the business of this social engineering, but I recognize that that is not a PC position to have in DC and am legitimately concerned that the school will hold this against my family - either directly or indirectly.

Wow. That is paranoid![/quote]

It’s actually quite intuitive. It’s also not paranoid if you follow current events, read The NY Times (notably the Smith college article), understand the current climate and  trajectory of hot button social issues, understand social justice activism, how critical race theory is becoming mainstream and pervasive, how narrowly institutions must straddle all these issues to placate all sides, and how we basically live in a shame based culture, with the ever present threat of being labeled out of touch, or at worst racially insensitive or racist, on social media and having your life and/or career ended in the public eye if you stray into wrongthink territory.[/quote]
