Cyber attack @ Emma…

While Pittsburgh is off the I - 95 northeastern corridor , it is a vigorous tech & biotech metro area. Another public dust - up , this time at a leading independent school in metro Pittsburgh & PA…a busy summer in independent school governance issues . Hope things work out.

I think that there will be a substantial rise in home schooling due to covid and due to politics.

Sorry for the typo - I meant to write “residence halls”….but as noted above by @Publisher the advanced robotics students could probably build new residents in no time. :rofl:

Great alert about Atlanta’s Westminster Schools, but the letter is too long & repetitious.

In my opinion, the writing would be more effective if it was concise.

There is an article in The NY Post @ a grass roots parent organization from schools including Dalton, Buckley, and Collegiate with similar concerns to the mom from Westminister.

I may have read that letter if it is from a couple of months ago.

Regarding the Westminster Schools letter: Valid concerns, but poor delivery.

Weird coincidence that this article about an idiot, racist woman from Iowa also appears in the NY Post on August 21, 2021:

The usual culture war hyperbole, with some anti-mask/anti-vax nonsense thrown in for good measure.

“We need to start putting the heat on and it’s going to be through the media and our next line of attack will be shaming these schools so much that donors start putting up a fight,” one mom said.

If a significant portion of the school community agreed, then she wouldn’t have to involve the culture war mongers to “turn up the heat.”

Impossible. Racism doesn’t exist anymore. At least that is what we are all supposed to pretend.
