Question: Do parents who came to the meetings to protest safety issues have FBI files? That's the question I want to hear addressed.

@jono1987 Most larger communities have had school choice rather than strictly in-district schooling for well over a generation now. Vouchers won't happen. It's a political ploy to get your vote. Vouchers will not happen because there is no way to structure them without causing the public school system to collapse. Having said that, I don't blame any parent whose child is not well-served to be ready to try anything to change that.

Bri's point was that every school, public or private, has to figure out a way to accommodate many different children from different kinds of families. If she homeschools, then you can call her a hypocrite.

@nottobebelieved8608 I guess a trans girl or a trans boy has to be attacked before it counts.

@tenderlungs2065 No. Accommodate parents who have drastically different values and interests from your own. That will be an issue in all but the very smallest, most exclusive schools, or home schooling. Didn't your first grade teacher tell you not to decorate when you write? Never mind, it's me who is responding to this nonsense. That says something about me, not you.

@hrs2044 It's about the safety of minor persons without penises in both cases. Is it okay to care?

@brandonflood5850 A lot of the charter schools are even worse -- they are a truly mixed bag, some clearly much better and some clearly worse, and most not particularly different -- not even necessarily safer. It's a mess, actually. I agree with most of your other points. Schools must prioritize education; even universities don't anymore. Fraternity/sorority "life" was a top priority, along with football for so long, which is simply entertainment, and now that "safe spaces" have emerged to cater to a different college crowd, the right wing has suddenly noticed that the priorities are skewed -- nevermind that Business has been the most popular degree for several decades now. Most such degrees are worth less than an English degree from an academic standpoint, but they do show future employers the requisite docility.

@kommisar. Read what I said again, and try using your imagination a little. Do you remember what used to be major issues? Here is one example: there was a time when during parent-teacher night/open house, every child's mother and father were expected to come. Well, some mothers worked nights, and some fathers wouldn't come without the mother. Then also, some fathers were handicapped or absent, and some mothers had died. Do you think these "deviations" from the teacher's notion of "norms" were always treated sensitively, or that they are treated with sensitivity now? Do you think a little kid should have had to announce that "my dad left," or "I don't have a father," or "my mom is in a wheelchair?" (Why?) Do you think there are no children now whose parents are LGBTQ+? Do you imagine they aren't vulnerable to bullying or exclusion? Do you expect instant universal agreement on how that should be addressed? Well then, accommodating a diverse population will ALWAYS raise issues.

@kommisar. Some parents might think that anti-bullying programs are a political ideology, and that bullying is no different than "teasing," and that teasing is good for you. Only "weak" kids who can't tolerate "healthy competition" need protection from "teasing." I had a cousin who confronted this, and he and the other targets of bullying had to take a class on becoming tougher. This was a public school, in a posh suburb. Then one day my father (a strong, dark, handsome, Mediterranean-type male) picked up my cousin from school in a muscle car. He was never bullied again. So. Tell me more about your "culture and ideology" . . . 🤣

Bri's point was that Robbie's comment went beyond what she was talking about: every school, private or public, has got to accommodate more than one family. That was what she said. She wasn't talking pro or con about privatization this time.

@yn5568 My computer tends to delete text that I never told it to delete. I edited the comment. Now go back and read.

@yn5568 Still don't get it? Is it too tough for you?

@yn5568 But they were not discussing school choice at all. Bri was putting that issue to the side, to point out that nearly every school -- public, private, semi-privatized/charter -- will face the same issues of accommodating competing interests, UNLESS all of the parents have some say concerning who will be admitted. If you can run a school like a condo association, or like a commune, then you can be certain that every child will come from a home with values generally in line with your own. I'm not clear why either that, or school choice, have a bearing on this case. There was a CRIME. Crimes happen in schools. Students commit them, teachers commit them, support staff commit them, people from the outside barging in shoot up the place, etc. I think the focus in this story must be on safety.

Jeffrey Epstein taught in one of the most exclusive private schools in NYC without a degree, and during a time when the current insanity did not reign. Be more of a realist and less of a partisan, maybe?

@yn5568 You actually think it would work that way? What evidence do you have? What, exactly, do you mean by "better?" Say, what's the problem? Do you imagine that if your property taxes were lower, then you could find a better private school for your child? Why don't you just make the money and go find that school? It's the tax man who's preventing you? LOL you put your foot in it. "School choice" is another scam to get your votes. I remember when the elder Bush was advocating "school choice" -- he became president right after Ronald Reagan, who "supported" it, too. Sure they did. In any case, you are still missing the point I see.

@yn5568 School choice as you've just defined it exists in most major cities, and started decades ago. And it is not the child who chooses, but the parents submit applications on the child's behalf. Your entire post is a non sequitur -- unless some of mine have been shadowed and so you can't follow the argument and grasp what's going on.

@yn5568 Oh I get it now. You feel bad. I know why, never mind.

Don't you ever get sick of yourself? You chose the mind you have because you are too much of a coward to think rigorously, and to read, and to stand out from your crowd. Bri scares you, so you hate on her. I make it all too obvious that you're wrong, so you hate me, too. What a nice little life you lead. Blech, and blocked.

Right. Every school, no matter whether it's public or private, is required to accommodate more than one family's kids. It's just worse when the public schools fail, obviously.

Bri's point was that Robbie's comment went beyond what she was talking about: every school, private or public, has got to accommodate more than one family. That was what she said. She wasn't talking pro or con about privatization this time. But have at it. You're as much into cancel culture as the average blue-haired Tic Tocker . . . well, okay, not that bad, but . . .

@vainezaiven6677 Excellent points. We need to cut to the chase.

Have they filed suit? And, do they have an FBI file? They should appeal to Biden to have it expunged.

@brandonzettel8444 I hope he and the family of the other child file suit.

@stephanieh6306 She has posted about it. Why don't you check? In any case, her point is relevant to public and private schools; many conservative parents have taken their kids out of very exclusive private schools over these issues.
1
@stephanieh6306 Private as well as public -- but obviously, it is worse when you have to remove your children from a public school, where every child has a right to be.
