If you live on the West Coast and want your children to be able to read Hacker News, then you better send them to a private school.

> If you live on the West Coast and want your children to be able to read Hacker News, then you better send them to a private school. You know University of Phoenix is a private school right? It's just run for profit. (edit: also Trump University is a private school) The difference between private school and public is if it's state run. So you're basically saying Cal, UCLA, UCSF, and other good public school aren't able to read Hacker News...

More like its a quick way to get your kids sick with some nasty ass diseases, West Coast private schools are a petri dish with a ton of unvaccinated kids. Considering the Catholic Church runs most of these schools, the local diocese need to crack down and not endanger their student body with these nasty ass, bug chasing parents & their unvaccinated children! https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/09/wealthy-la-schools-vaccination-rates-are-as-low-as-south-sudans/380252/ https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/09/wealthy-l...

  You talk about "nasty ass diseases" and them go on to talk about the religious affiliation of those schools. The obvious XKCD notwithstanding, I hope the humor and stereotype reference there is not lost on readers.

    Its so odd, seeing that when I was in Catholic School they'd have kicked me out had I not been vaccinated, but now private schools in Washington State are basically the only place you can easily skip vaccination.

  Vaccinations generally work, so as long as your kids are vaccinated, I fail to see how sending them to a private school will endanger them in any way...
