[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not a Hardy parent but good for these parents for getting organized and leading an effective outcome.
This puts DCPS on notice that they better do right by Hardy.
[b]Maybe someone could encourage the Hardy parent organizers to help other parent communities at other schools to organize as well to pressure DCPS to improve learning conditions. [/b]
DCPS needs accountability as they get away with way too much crap[/quote]

This would be viewed as "condescending" and "evidence of privilege". There is no winning. If you don't try and help you are a racist. [b]If you try and help you are a racist.[/b] The only acceptable response is to self flagellate early and often and hope to be labeled and ally.

Everyone get out your tiniest violins for the poor white victims in our society [/quote]

[b]Are you really trying to convince us you’ve tried to help the schools of other Wards? [/b]Because no one believes you.

Y’all are crazy defensive. You think it’s “performative” to consider your role in perpetuating inequality and racism. you’ve got no intention of helping others whatsoever. You benefit from this system. You’re like—I got mine!! My kids are “suffering” at this TERRIBLE school and we just HAPPEN to have time and resources to do something about it!! Geez I wonder WHY you have the time and resources to do anything about it?? Nothing to do with race there, huh??

No one’s is saying you should stop advocating but the the repeated screams of THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE! are just dumb.

PJ might have needed to go but I have no doubt that had he been a young WHITE first year principal it would have been handled differently. [/quote]

No, I haven't and I didn't pretend to. Had you read the words on the page with less of a chip and martyr complex you'd have seen that my point was that people like you cannot be placated. No matter what I do, people like you will complain. If I do nothing I am a racist. If I try and help I have a white savior complex. You've successfully alienated a bunch of people who would be willing to have your back and not you get to go it alone. Let me know how that goes for you. As for me, my buddies and I in W2 worked together to create change. Best of luck with your kids' failing schools and that massive chip on your shoulder. [/quote]

Yawn. [/quote]
