Reply to comment by HairyEyeballz in Chariho School Committee seat hangs in balance, as contested appointment advances conservative agenda by ReallyBroReally
Sure, and I'm not arguing against private schools in any way and its as you say, capacity is an issue.
​
However, the owner of a private school, now in a position to make budgetary decisions that can marginalize their public competitor is uh... not good. Especially when the owner is politically aligned with those that argue for the dissolution of the Dept of Education and public schools as a whole etc.

While I'm not familiar with the exact situation in Chariho, my experience with public preschool was that there was very limited availability. Private ones are an absolute necessity (or they are in my area).

Someone here said there’s a place in Barrington that’s better.
The other thing was that our food was out in, like, three minutes. There was no way any of that was even partially prepared fresh.

Left wing extremist? Are you for real? You need to stop watching Tucker Carlson, buddy.

Manatuck Ave in the off season, but I don’t recommend it AT ALL after Memorial Day.

So, please I am asking sincerely here, why do you think she is a "left wing extremist"? A lot of conservatives on this sub get reflexively downvoted and a lot of times its because they throw out labels "communist", "radical" etc that aren't remotely true for the person they address.
What makes Purcell a left wing extremist?

The seasonal parking pass is actually really affordable. It's like $60 for non-residents and gets you free parking at several of the state beaches (not ganset tho).

Camp Cronin is my go to. I've never seen the lot blocked off because it's technically a fishing area. I've watched the sunrise there, gone at night etc.

They have security guards during the summer and your car can get towed.

This reminds me of the time I had Maus on my bookshelf and someone (a friend's wife) was offended by the spine which had a Swastika on it.

It's in the article as well:
> Protesters were holding banners that read, “Anti-Zionism is Anti-Semitism,”
It's absolutely ridiculous to even suggest that you must agree with a groups political positions otherwise you are racist, anti-Semitic, etc.

I moved here from Portland, OR. I'd never even heard of a nip until I moved here. Not sure what they do over there, if these just don't exist or there is a deposit, or what, but you don't see them littered everywhere like you do here. Instead it's heroin needles all over the place, and they have volunteers that do this with needles and post pics in the subreddit. I don't think they have kids meditating on them though.

The story doesn’t mention it but Johnson is also owner of the Goddard School in S Kingston a private Preschool. Chariho also has a preschool program. So you have an unelected appointee who votes on public school budgets and policies.
it’s literally in his best interests to undermine the public school.

i voted for her. she’s 3rd place by 28 votes. you know who didn’t get a single vote yet got the spot instead?
e: 27 votes, and u/koidrieyez calls it a participation trophy but the Richmond town charter formally calls it the next appointee in case of a vacancy.

I know the guys start early, but there is no overnight parking there, so if they show up, no shops are open, but there are cars, they know what’s up. The shops in there struggle enough, they don’t need people taking their parking spaces during the only time of year they make money.
