=== School's Expensive Lesson (08:45) ===

[00:00:00]  So this school, by the way, guess what tuition at the school is?
[00:00:06]  And they also have an elementary school.
[00:00:08]  So the tuition is for all grades.
[00:00:12]  You ready?
[00:00:13]  Including third grade?
[00:00:14]  Did you read what it was?
[00:00:18]  $65,540 a year.
[00:00:24]  Now, I would say that this is throwing money down the toilet, but I would be wrong.
[00:00:31]  Because if you throw $65,000 down the toilet, if you flush it down the toilet, if you throw it down a drain, to use the truly appropriate verb, you are wasting the money, but you are not doing any harm to anyone.
[00:00:50]  But if you send your child to the school, you are not only wasting your money, you are doing harm.
[00:00:59]  Of course, many parents don't think that, needless to say, because people are sheep.
[00:01:05]  Most people are.
[00:01:06]  Oh, wow, $65,000, Riverdale, ethical culture.
[00:01:14]  Can't beat that.
[00:01:15]  What a combo.
[00:01:19]  The principal of the upper school who sent it out was Stacy Bobo.
[00:01:25]  Stacy Bobo is a...
[00:01:28]  Woman.
[00:01:31]  I would have bet that the principal was a woman, and I would have won the bet.
[00:01:40]  She's the principal of the upper school.
[00:01:44]  She said it acknowledges, ready?
[00:01:48]  The Election Day support acknowledges that this may be a high-stakes and emotional time for our community.
[00:01:58]  Do you realize these people talk in cliches?
[00:02:01]  There isn't an original, sincere thought in their...
[00:02:06]  Do they speak this way to, if they're married, to their husband?
[00:02:13]  Do they speak this way to their friends?
[00:02:18]  This is a high stakes and emotional time for our community.
[00:02:23]  There are more words, you'll love it, that are...
[00:02:28]  Are completely representative of the left-wing robots.
[00:02:35]  No matter the election outcome, she wrote, the school will quote, here's the other example, the whole letter, I'm sure, exemplified robotic left-wing thinking or expression.
[00:02:51]  The school, quote, will create space.
[00:02:57]  Does she say create space in having dinner with her girlfriends?
[00:03:05]  You think she does?
[00:03:08]  Do you know anyone, has anyone in your life ever said create space?
[00:03:13]  The moment I hear create space, I know it's a leftist. - Right.
[00:03:25]  I presume, but it's not necessarily at all, because male leftists will do this, just there are more women representative of this.
[00:03:35]  The school will create space to provide students with the support they may need.
[00:03:42]  Yes, students, you poor things come from homes that can afford $65,000 wasted dollars on this school, but you poor things You will be distressed by the election.
[00:03:57]  And so we have the psychologists, and we will create space for you.
[00:04:04]  I presume that they will be given playthings, right?
[00:04:09]  Remember?
[00:04:10]  What was it?
[00:04:11]  In safe spaces.
[00:04:12]  That's what they do.
[00:04:13]  They give you Play-Doh and hot chocolate, and you watch films of frolicking puppies.
[00:04:23]  Oh, and kittens.
[00:04:24]  I don't want to miss that.
[00:04:33]  It's a very interesting point from my technical director.
[00:04:37]  He hopes they get the day off.
[00:04:40]  That means that Donald Trump won.
[00:04:44]  And more important, it means that the Democrats lost.
[00:04:49]  Which is my preoccupation.
[00:04:53]  No homework will be assigned on Election Day, the email said, and no student assessments will take place on Wednesday.
[00:05:02]  Excused absences will be allowed on Wednesday or whatever day the election results are announced, which may well be a week later, in large measure because for reasons that no one has ever explained to me, therefore I assume bad motives.
[00:05:22]  We went from paper ballots to computers.
[00:05:26]  You can't hack paper ballots.
[00:05:29]  You can hack computers.
[00:05:32]  Why would we do that?
[00:05:34]  I know the answer, but I won't tell you.
[00:05:37]  No, I can't say I know it.
[00:05:40]  I suspect the answer.
[00:05:43]  The answer is located in the question.
[00:05:52]  Excused absences will be allowed on Wednesday or whatever day the election results are announced for students who feel unable to, quote, fully engage in classes.
[00:06:05]  Fully engage.
[00:06:06]  That's up there with Create Spaces.
[00:06:10]  It's up there with Our Community.
[00:06:16]  This is all from the New York Times.
[00:06:20]  Gwen Rocco, a spokeswoman for the school, another woman, declined to comment on the email.
[00:06:29]  If you're the spokeswoman of the school, why would you decline to comment on an email from the head of the school?
[00:06:35]  Isn't that odd?
[00:06:37]  Yes, they mentioned something else that I wanted to read to you, but I did not...
[00:06:49]  I did not get it.
[00:06:50]  Oh, yeah, I didn't highlight this, but I think I should nevertheless share it with you.
[00:06:56]  John Couchman, who has two daughters in the upper school, a sophomore and a senior, said he thought the plan for the election was commendable.
[00:07:07]  I just want you to know, I'll bet most of the parents think it was, quote, commendable, unquote.
[00:07:15]  I think it's absolutely the right decision, said Mr. Couchman, who works in finance.
[00:07:20]  These students are very astute.
[00:07:24]  The praising of these young people by leftists is so false, so unearned, so representative.
[00:07:43]  Of flawed thinking.
[00:07:46]  These students are very astute.
[00:07:51]  Well, that's an interesting thing.
[00:07:53]  They're very astute.
[00:07:58]  But what if they're divided on the election?
[00:08:01]  What if, let's say, one-third of the students, maybe less, but let's say one-third of the students are pro-Trump.
[00:08:10]  Are they astute as well?
[00:08:12]  Can you have equally astute people, have opposite views on everything important?
[00:08:20]  Do you know that nobody described me or my classmates when I was in high school as very astute?
[00:08:30]  Had somebody said to me, you're astute, I would have said, really?
[00:08:35]  I haven't met any stutes.
[00:08:40]  I think their rights are on the line.
[00:08:44]  Oh, this is apparent.
