[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really truly wonder how many parents who refuse to accept the situation are white. BIPOC parents care that our children are statistically more likely to be affected. I am not sure white parents care. [/quote] This. How many are coming from a place of privilege? 75% of people in ward 7/8 are obese. This virus predominantly kills people of color. The most affected areas are people of color. Regardless if everyone DIES from Covid-19, is it ethical to allow someone who has a higher risk to risk getting Covid even if they’ll survive?[/quote] so you think it’s ethical for kids to get schooling based on whether they are rich enough to pay for private school?[/quote] Did you think the inequity of ward 7/8 schools compared to other wards was ok? Do you think gentrification as it stands today is ok? Do you think that having the closest 'grocery' near you be 711 is ok and then shame people when they wonder why the 'cheap' Whole Foods didn't do well? Yea, this is so about rich families who ALWAYS experience privilege regardless. Nice deflecting. Pretty sure private schools don't continue school with gas leaks, have class in rooms with no window, run out of soap, have kids who break glass windows, threaten to commit suicide or kill another student, etc, etc, etc. They are so much more prepared, why? Money, that the rich pay for. We bought into capitalism and now we lay in it. This is capitalism. Now that middle class non-POC families are effected it's an issue?[/quote] Do you think we have to fix gentrification before kids in Ward 7 and 8 can go back to school? Does every school have to go through a 3-year long renovation first? Do we have to fix all the ills of capitalism before the kids in Ward 7 and 8 can go back to school? Seriously? WTF. You're ABSURD. [/quote] You are either ignorantly missing the point or being willfully obtuse. [/quote]
