Here's one of those peeks inside the mind of a true believer, a follower of Marx, whether they realize it or not. Even though this parent feels she is doing what is best for his child, she wonders if she shouldn't sacrifice her child's education for the greater good.
Not my words...hers:
My family lives on the west side of Los Angeles. I face the same choice as many urban families: Will the kids attend public or private schools? Should one minimize opportunities for one's own child in service to the greater good?
In our desire to protect our children physically and academically, we send them to very expensive schools that are inherently segregated ethnically and economically. We, being white, educated, and comparatively affluent, are the agenda-setters in society. The agenda does not include fierce protection of the public school system we value in general terms but abandon in our own specific cases.
And so we've let down our future fellow citizens by turning our backs on them. And we've certainly let the government off the hook yet again, by individually shouldering the burden of quality education for our own children and letting the public schools crumble. Advice?
The collectivist laments providing the best for her child at the expense of the "greater good." This is a great example of left wing thinking.

The collectivist has already gone wrong — they were supposed to sacrifice their child to Moloch prior to the birth.
What self-absorbed, craven, pathetic excuse for parent would not want to provide the very best that they could of ANYTHING for their children?
Advice:
Let a family with values and a moral compass adopt your children.
Libtard child sacrifice.
Hey dumbass, you only have one legacy, its your children. Do for them and they will do for you. If you can afford private school do it. If not, supplant their public education with homeschool. If the school system is dysfunctional and dangerous - move. How stupid some people are. You only get so many children. They are your most precious gift and responsibility.
Can you imagine an immigrant Irish, or Italian or German or Swede or Norwegian or Russian Jewish mother of a century ago, fresh out of Ellis Island, saying this? I can't.
Per the movie "Airplane," I say, let 'em crash!
Very sociopathic.
My Dad.
But I still stand by my statement. As a parent, I will always do the level best that I can for my kids. And to sacrifice them the altar of some political ideology (like the author of this piece) is a concept so vile that I just can't comprehend it.
Thanks for your kindness.
Not it isn't. Letting your child starve is murder.
Let this unworthy child bearer sacrifice her child. Then when the child grows up, the child can sue the child bearer for not being educated.
Oh don’t worry. She’s just calling for everyone to tell her that it’s too soon for that kind of equality and the best thing she can do is send her children to the very best schools so that they in the future can help usher in the New World Order. Someone has to be in charge, you know. She just wants the other libs to reassure her that her rampant hypocrisy is “really okay.”
Pathetic. I really deep down pity these people. They are so lost in self-hatred and loathing. The shame is the children will end up suffering because of them.
IIRC when asked about this the toons cited security reasons. One can make that spin if one is the President. Not sure if it goes much further down the line below maybe Cabinet level.
Yes, exactly.
You know, I have an interesting perspective on this. I had to fight to be freed from the apartheid that is the ‘special needs’ programs.
So for me, staying in public schools was showing the system that they were wrong. Now, I would not want to inflict what I went through on my children. I would rather teach them myself then send them away. Strange.
