The Elmwood Park Advocate shares feedback we received in response to our coverage of the walkout against ICE organized by Elmwood Park High School students.
It is a bit scary that you think it appropriate to drag a kid in kindergarten out to a protest as a good thing. Teaching them the importance of what your value system is important and vital as a parent. This allows them to when they have developed enough decide if that is for them or if they will go another direction.
putting them in physical danger is a pretty irresponsible thing as a parent to do.
There are no actual fully safe protest at this point there is always some nut job out there waiting in the dug out. It is not exclusive to a left or right group of people. It is one thing for you as a adult to put yourself in danger but a adult brings a kid I to a situation like that it really is just irresponsible.
A small child should not be put in harms way. Watching the videos in SF I was thankful that some nutter on the far right did not plow into those kids.
Maybe develop their mind a bit before indoctrinating them to a cult think of what ever flavor. Maybe limit their access to Social Media.
That is the same issue I have with kids starting church before they are mentally mature enough to really understand what it is they are being indoctrinated with. At this point TilTok is the new maga church.
Well that is the blissful luxury the A insteadd if the S at the end of out degrees allows you to have.
I myself look forward to my kid hitting 200k in their 401k before 30 as they will not have the college debt. Maybe possible moving away to a rural area.
If they do go to college it will be for a field that will pay off said debt maybe even scholarships to cover said debt. if they are smart enough going into the trades and avoiding what we allow to pass for higher education at this point would be best. They can always exercise the academics on their own side. .
The bongo circle kids quite honestly in your kids life span will be replaced by AI if not by my kids time to adult hood. Lots of friends in the art field now scrambling to find work. Lots of friends in the writing world seeing the road ahead too.
The kids entering k now are going to need to learn to work with their hands or find some skill set that will not be replaced by AI. There are some very fascinating scientific papers out now. A couple school systems are even beta testing AI instruction. If you extrapolate it out the kids entering school now are going to be in trouble if their parents do not steer them correctly or stay involved.
But I can tell you from experience. Outside of the guys I knew trying to slip in for a girl in the bongo circles in the 90's. The one not their for ethical reasons are not doing so great rounding the corner on 50 as I am.
For someone who wildly insists that we're not really a community newsletter but a front for some "crazy left wing political advocacy group," you sure like to share a lot. —Kevin Gosztola
Why would I not share. Not like any leftwing group is a real threat more so a annoyance. Best to not coddle folks as they have the last decade and to just have open opinions liked or not.

I, myself, am looking forward to the day that my child gets to join a Bongo Circle!!! —Kevin Gosztola
