we hadnt planned to move back, at least not yet. My husband and I had lived abroad for more than a decade, building a shared history as we moved from Afghanistan to Vietnam to Singapore. Our son and daughter had spent more time exploring countries across Southeast Asia than the country of their citizenship. They celebrated Eid, Chinese New Year and Diwali with family friends they called auntie and uncle... Our global lifestyle reflected values my husband and I held deeply about tolerance, cross-cultural understanding and our place in the world.Translation:
"We incredibly cool global citizens don't want to make any personal sacrifices of our very cool awesomeness for our child's unique needs. America is hateful to us, who are special, and deserve better."

Picked up on that tone, too, did you?? GMTA - it was the primary reason I posted the article. I noticed many of the comments on the WaPo page went down this path, too.
