I can't stand hearing the Chicago parents asking what they are supposed to do with their children

YOU were a kid once too, and your parents made a lifestyle choice when they had you and raised you. Now I don't know if you were born to affluent parents or whether you just forgot what it's like to struggle if you ever did, but you've somehow wound up in a bubble devoid of any empathy or compassion, and I really can't figure out what the fuck you're doing on a message board for liberals and progressives.

Living with your head in the clouds like you do, you might not realize that a lot of struggling families depend on public schools as a part of the support system for their families in addition to their kids getting an education there. I am the father in one such family. I work a full time job and hustle up all the money I can doing side jobs but it's very tough for us these days, so the fact that my daughter(yes just one kid) gets reduced priced meals and other benefits from school is a godsend these days. I'm sure you'll be horrified to know that she also qualifies for and receives health insurance from the state through the SCHIPs program.

A lot of hard working families are in the same boat as us these days due to stagnant wages, outsourcing of good jobs and 30 years of fuckle down reaganomics in general. Many of us were doing a lot better when we decided to have kids and have been kicked in the crotch somewhere along the road.

So just get down off your damned high horse about what the fuck you "don't want to pay for" or hit the fucking road to SomaliaI'm sure you'd be much happier there
