and upper middle class McMansion divas.
Sounds like people trying to out outrage each other for clicks and, if there is a God, going viral.

Have I ever told you of my disdain for a large portion of the US citizenry.

What happens is the people speaking go for broke to see who can be the most outrageous. Yelling at board members, not allowing them to speak. People so stupid they think they can donate enough money to run the 51,000 student district so we can just not listen to the state and not care if they make us return 13 million dollars.

Va. Military Institute was all male and the alums were dead set on keeping it that way. Well it is a public school so yeah they needed to let women in. After the first young woman bailed VMI was sure of itself. Let’s take it private! they said. Then the Commonwealth said - heres the states share of your annual budget aaaaand they decided to let women in.

I looked it up. Basically they’d have to double their fundraising
$95M total budget - $19M from state general fund.
