[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Uh, the PP referred to "the incredible hypocrisy of the progressives" so I'm guessing she is not a liberal.[/quote]

Oh but I am. Progressive even!  My point is that anyone who is ACTUALLY progressive should be very, very upset at what's happening with school closures.  [/quote]

I’m a Democrat and I’m pissed schools are closed, I’m pissed education sucks, I’m pissed we have high schoolers who can’t read, I’m pissed we are so far in our bubbles that we are rejecting common sense and practical solutions. [/quote]
