[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s just speaking the truth. That’s why everyone on this thread is upset. Why not acknowledge your privilege and then have a conversation?![/quote]

You're an idiot. He was wrong in his [b]prejudiced efforts to attempt to keep non-public schools closed [/b]and he was wrong in his inappropriate emails. Time to go, bye bye.[/quote]

Fascinating glimpse into your mind here.  The goal was for privates to be closed just like publics were, which is prejudiced against non-public schools because . . . it's not what you wanted?[/quote]

Here in the DMV, many schools were able to open safely by following CDC guidance on distancing, mask-wearing, cohosting, etc.  They opened in September and have been open all year without in-school transmission.   Gayles didn’t care about the science or the CDC guidelines, he just wanted all the schools closed so the public schools wouldn’t look bad for closing too.  This was absolutely a political decision, not a public health one.  [/quote]

The fact that the position "keep all schools closed" turned out to be overly cautious vis a vis what was necessary to mitigate community spread (something brought up in the emails people are so horrified by - "You mitigate risks by being overly cautious") doesn't in any way show that it was *prejudiced* against non-public schools.  It wasn't.  Trying to get all schools to behave in the same way, even if it's not the way you prefer, is not prejudice.[/quote]
