Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

As an actual K teacher I call bullshit on this whole story although for the sake of the PK teacher I hope that they never have to do a parent teacher conference with this terrible, self-satisfied parent

So a thing Waymo does that human drivers don't is harrass Kindergartners crossing at a marked crosswalk. Like, this happens all the time. Waymos creep up and have to be physically blocked from hitting kids. They can't handle the idea of walking field trips.

People who cross picket lines were raised wrong (and rich) and have matured into terrible adults, so no real surprise here
Bari Weiss crossed the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette picket line to falsely portray herself as a scrappy "Pittsburgh Girl".

"Informally" is doing Atlas-likr work here, because there's documentary evidence this is false. Both the principals and the teachers are at impasse and the principals have been vocal about how disrespected they feel by Su in particular. SFParents has to know this.
