11. This is a pretty well known local parent that is conspicuously involved with his kid's schools

He sends one kid to public and one to private, he held a fundraiser a month ago to raise 50k for the PTA at the public, where he complained about how the private school is always hitting him up for more money, obviously he can afford to do whatever he wants.

My point is that rich people can be generous, and often have different ideas about what works for each kid. He famously is against Common Core, like the local teacher's union, like the Tea Party. But he is hardcore anti Trump. So implying that rich people are single minded in terms of schools is not accurate.
