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.

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.

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?

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.
