I don't think this sort of resource allocation sends a good message to kids.   Frankly, I think it's obscene.[/quote]

Yes how dare wealthy people donate money to a private school. Outrageous.[/quote]

I think it's GREAT people donate.  And I respect the right of people to do what they want to with their money.

But I don't like the message this sort of spending on a gym facility sends to kids.

There are a lot of things I could objectively afford to provide to my kids that I don't provide because I don't think it sends the right message about how resources should be used.

So, I can afford to buy each of my kids a BMW for their first car.  I don't think that's a good way to spend money, or a good message to send.

I am not on a crusade against schools that do this, but I question the judgement of educators who make these decisions.[/quote]

A BMW is a very reliable and safe vehicle.  Good for a first car if you can afford it.  [/quote]

Thank you troll.   BMW is hardly synonymous with reliability, though they do do well on safety tests (though hardly uniquely so).[/quote]
