You just jumped the shark on that one. Are you really saying that parents should focus on every single child before putting more focus on their own? I am going to take it you don't have kids

Also, the FOX PTA has many Black and Hispanic parents, I guess they are also practicing Jim Crow. Just wow.

The only think fluoride in water does is prevent cavities. Richmond city water does have a bit more iron and hardness than I like and as a result I don’t love the taste and how it leaves residue on the fixtures, but I grew up on county water which is still fluoridated and from the river, but seems to be processed more to reduce the iron content and hardness.

I seriously doubt this is the cause of her ailments. Maybe it’s a change in diet, has she taken any antibiotics that might upset her gut bacteria, something like that?

Jesus Christ dude, you're willing to throw away a school with a 44% economically disadvantaged student body because your ideology says it's not ok to help rich white people too. This is a bullshit take and a big part of the reason RPS and Richmond as a whole struggle to make progress.

There is alot variation in electric retail markets, Texas has the most expansive retail competition. Comparing Texas and California retail markets is an interesting case study in market design -- with California creating some counter-productive incentives that led to the 2001 outages, Enron and all that.
