[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm fixated because private school and Catholic school kids have been in school ALL YEAR in DC and elsewhere.  There's no reason, other than politics, for public schools to be closed and private schools to be opened.

I'm also fixated because I can cite you name after name of public health experts, doctors, educators, who all say we need to reopen schools and prioritize schools.  Yet contrary to the grandiose claims to "believe science," parents and politicians in DC are now completely ignoring all of this science.

[b]And finally I'm fixated on the incredibly hypocrisy of progressives in DC pretending to care about black kids and marginalized people, all the while refusing to engage with the actual facts in front of their eyes: rich white kids in DC are being educated; poor black kids are not. [/b] [/quote]

What about poor white kids? What about rich black kids, or spanish kids, rich and poor? Etc.

My kids are "poor white" and doing well with DL. Statements like yours, PP, are pure evil. You are using disadvantaged kids to try to win your argument and get your way. Nasty person, PP.[/quote]

I’m always amazed at the depths of poverty being racialized in the USA. It’s amazing how poor white Americans are completely ignored and not acknowledged. And liberals do this the most. Poor white people are not seen nor heard. Completely hidden away.

As if there aren’t poor white children across America. Upstate NY, Mississippi, Texas, Kentucky, Ohio anyone??? [/quote]

My post was about DC, where the poverty divide is extremely racialized. But if it makes you happy - white SN kids (like mine) and lots of other white kids are also suffering.  My specific point there was to call out the hypocrisy of politicians and individuals who claim to be "progressive" and championing "marginalized people" while keeping schools closed, which in DC will most heavily impact black/brown kids.
