Your point is so far beyond the scope of this conversation.

What have you personally done to effect any change?

I'm so worn out with critics. "The school should do this, the school should do that, I don't know why we can't just do X." Well, they have a limited budget and limited staff, if you have an idea you can propose it and help with fundraising and volunteering. It's not ideal, and maybe it's not right, but it's the reality we are living in and it's better than sitting on your laptop writing critiques wishing for a better system.

I have advocated for addressing the LCI funding which is the underlying issue for much of the inequity in Richmond. But I do not expect the General Assembly in our current administration to take the big political leap of doing anything to actually change it--especially when we all recognize we are about $2B behind on school updates.

You don't get to dictate the scope of the conversation.

What I have or have not done has no baring on the legitimacy on my opinion. I have not worked to uphold the inequitable status quo while also claiming to be battling it as you have in here and as this fundraise seeks.

You accuse me of what about ism but in this same post refuse to answer simple questions like "where does the funding go".

I agree that "addressing LCI" funding will be innefective and that the current governmental structure is built to maintain the status quo and to minimize the will of the people.
