Which SW members belong to the “coastal elite”?

I would not look at being a coastal elite or being a clinger of guns and bibles a “charge”. Both can be looked at positively and negatively. . @MistyCee

@jackjjackson Whew. That's a relief, because there's a Bible or three in my house, and I don't think I could find them quickly enough to avoid prosecution on that charge either.

Seriously. What is this world coming to anyways? @MistyCee

@jackjjackson You're just saying that because you're a liberal.

Check in with the liberals on the site, they will tell you otherwise 😲 @USAalltheway

@jackjjackson Because liberals always lie.

Great answer. I grudgingly fall into that category myself. @Northwest

@Sweet517 A lot of people, work their asses off, but don't get the same opportunities. Plenty of reasons why that is, but have nothing to do with their work ethic, study habits or how honest they are and how well they apply themselves.

A kid, attending elementary school in Yakima, who works her ass off, to be top of her class, by the time she's done with High School, is not going to have an opportunity to take the AP classes, advanced Calculus, Physics, biology, languages, etc. to qualify for the Computer Science program at the U. of Washington.

Perhaps, in the not so distant future, technology may make it possible to level the playing field, through best of breed online education, but we're not there yet.

Then that’s on the parents of Yakima to get more proactive. Mores ver, you don’t need AP classes to be successful. Once you get to College they retract half of Senior year anyway

@Sweet517 Hmmm. On the parents? Yes, I guess they should have bought a $3M home in Mercer Island, and sent the kid to the MI Elementary, Middle and High School.

You don't need AP classes to be successful, but you need them to get into the U. of Washington. Yes, the getting admitted to a good program in a good college is the issue.

Sure. They are just atypical coastal elites. Technically I qualify as one too. However my politics may not be left enough. @luckranger71

@jackjjackson Not atypical at all. This whole construct is just another way to divide us. “I’m more American than you are based on where and how I live” As the British would say: bollocks!

✅. Stinkin media!! @luckranger71
