When my mom told me to "consider your source", it's almost always been spot on advice.

Stupid delusional women think they know how to change the world, in their own way.

Idiots need to sit in the house and clean.

If shes married....what a complete pussy loser that guy is.

The mother has learned a lesson, but I bet it isn’t the big life lesson that she should have learned.

Why? Because the collective good always has to be the right thing to her.

It’s New Orleans, of course the child is in the minority. As far as interactions southern schools as well as adult ls have long interacted with each other. The ones that haven’t are generally the ones that show the racism side and those aren’t necessarily the white ones. POC ( the ones other than white since white is a color too) have the highest percentage of racial biases, and generally happy to provide that perspective when a discussion ensues at public meetings, festivals, in a store, parking lots or streets, or any other gathering space.

Not a chance this is true. But I’ll admit public or private schools are only as good as you allow yourself in learning

I went to private school through 8th grade, then because of the oil crash in the 80’s I ended up in public high school with no magnet program yet.
High school was easy. I clearly remember being assigned a book in English 3 that I read in 8th grade and laughing about it to my friends.
There are some good public high schools in Shreveport but only if you get in the magnet program.

I also tried an educational experiment with my daughter. I taught her basic addition and subtraction, with flash cards, at 5 years old. I taught her the multiplication tables at 6. I read to her from the time she was an infant. I would read the same book 100 times if she asked to go through it again. She began reading at 3 years old. She began reading on her own a year later.

We familiarized her with what was coming up in the next school year. She was already comfortable with whatever the teachers presented. She was the Valedictorian and is a ChemE.

My experiment served my child better than trying to force her to be raised by wolves and orcs.

99% of other Progs virtue signal about this while their kids are in the best schools.


That's retarded.

Sure, she avoided the charge of hypocrisy, but at the expense of her own child.

Instead, she should have never taken that position to begin with. She still wouldn't be guilty of hypocrisy, and her child wouldn't be grades behind in school.

Again, retarded.

Her child would have been better off if she HAD been all talk.

Hypocrisy isn't the biggest issue here.

I can't imagine sacrificing your child's education for political points. It is the antithesis of parenting.

The funny thing about leftists is that they will intentionally do "dumb things" just to prove how much smarter they are than everyone else. And when whatever that dumb thing is goes sideways, act all sanctimonious for having done so.

It's a pathology.

I was never around people who weren’t white. Even when I went to my dad’s in his Seattle suburb the summers, I was around white and Asian people. I was very sheltered.

Which is likely why you are now ashamed of your own whiteness which is kind of pathetic

Define majority not white because that's a very intentional choice of words and I don't think it's an accident
