Reply #86: Quite illogical [View All]

1) Taking her child out of school for a day to watch the speech and discuss it as a family is a very constructive way to react to an ignorant policy that has been forced upon her,

2) You have no idea what kind of time this mother spends on school board activities. Neither do you know her financial situation and whether she has to work to support her family,

3) You have no right to be judgmental about this parent no matter what her situation is, particularly since she has written a well-reasoned, intelligent and reasonable post,

4) Not every town is Oakland, California. Some cities are based in extremely conservative political areas and there is no cookie-cutter prescription for how progressive or, in this case, sane parents can raise their children in the midst of ignorance when they want their children to grow up sensibly.
