One thing that stuck out to me was comparing deliberately sending her daughter to shitty schools to civil rights-era parents fighting segregation (notably about sending kids to better schools) is a world in itself.
You have the claim to be heirs to the civil rights act. You have the inability to actually improve things so in the name of equity by golly no one gets a good education. Not on her watch. You have the mental jujutsu to advocate for literally the opposite of the tradition you claim to be heirs of.
I have a small child and have been worried about public schools, private schools, etc. and I don’t know if this article makes me feel better or worse.

I more or less agree with how ridiculous it is but I think it fits neatly into the pattern of Trump doing what democrats/the left do but more crudely.
democrats: DEI is important see here are studies we reviewed amongst ourselves saying so. We have PhDs. You better play ball if you want a career in academia.
democrats: we’re renaming this military base, this mountain, this street, and this grassy field to honor…..
Trump: fuck you it’s the gulf of America and Lake America now
Trump: DEI is stupid and you’re fired if you support it.
democrats: we’re going to push for student loan forgiveness! You just gotta elect us one more time?
Trump: fuck it, you get five grand if we win midterms. Cash.
I’m not worried about deliberately hobbling my kid for politics, I’m worried about finding good schools. It seems like “no homework because it’s inequitable” is fairly common these days, among other practices with similar goals, at least according to teachers: https://fordhaminstitute.org/national/research/equitable-grading-through-eyes-teachers
