In reply to the discussion: NYC schools handing out morning-after pill without telling parents [View all]OrwellwasRight
(5,170 posts)Hello, have you been to DU? It is about having a conversation. The OP starts it, other people comment. I was responding to someone else's comment about the OP. In doing so, I raised an issue raised by the article. DU does not require anyone to read fifty articles on that aren't cited in the OP before making a comment. Many people, by looking at the comments in numerous threads, don't even bother to read the link cited in the OPs. I don't see where your new standard comes from or who gave you the authority to impose it.
As I said previously, I made a relevant comment, and I stand by it. As a long term government employee, including 9 years in public schools, I have seen good programs die because of how they were implemented, rather than the contents of the program. If you find that true statement illegitimate, try explaining why instead of coming up with some bizarre double standard about how I didn't do a thorough enough Google search before responding to the article. That's really reaching--and clearly itching for a fight. You're digging pretty deep to insult me, but seriously, you have said NOTHING that directly addresses or undermines the only point I made: that how programs are implemented matter. So keep it up if you're having fun. But you have diminished my point 0%.
