Mom of 1, I hope you don't believe that most of us here agree with all the racist and/or pseudoscientific and/or politically regressive and/or exclusionary opinions voiced above.

IMHO: Many people don't leap in because this forum has been around this loop a few too many times. Bostonian posts these inflammatory things regularly (surely from a conservative education listserv somewhere) and trolls for responses. I do not think most of us have the energy to take the bait any more. I certainly don't have hours to spend in debate. Which is not to say that we find those views any less repellent than you do.

Thanks for speaking up, Mom of 1. I hope your son, all our kids, and yes, all kids, get an excellent education. Each of them.
