I haven't seen any of them in the most recent Roundtable article yet. Regarding the algorithm changes, are you saying that we aren't able to see their comments at all? I checked and I haven't seen anything from them on FB. I can't imagine how they could continue to spin this, but I am sure they have their angle. Which is insane at this point.
Actually, silence might be a strategy here. Avoid bringing it up, let the early phases of construction crawl along, enough that having to undo contracts, negotiate prepayment, and also budget for replacing everything that's been demoed at the site thus far is prohibitive and keeping the project going is the "best" option.
It is truly sad that the forum treated as the broader place for D65 parents and caregivers to discuss important and relevant issues has been so stifled that NOBODY is willing to discuss the five-alarm fire that's going on right now.
Well we are discussing it here and this is a much more constructive place to do it.
I also thought about how they are just going to keep ignoring emails from the community about canceling the school until it is at a point of no return and then they will say, "Oh, we looked into it (as weeks go by and construction is fully underway) and its too late, sorry." The level of corruption here knows no bounds. They just want to pad their resumes and jump ship just like Horton and the CFO Obefami.
Oh I agree with you on this being a more constructive setting to do so...I do worry about this turning into a bit of an echo chamber, where other people (especially newer to Evanston and D65) haven't come across this substack and are less aware of much of this discussion that's happening, while the unofficial D65 FB group is 80% announcements about upcoming events.
During the upcoming election cycle, I have a feeling that page will heat up, and unfortunately it has reach (4.4k members).
This place becoming an echo chamber is extremely concerning to me and something I've been thinking a lot about lately. I'm going to do some thinking to find a way to reign it in. My early efforts to shitpost in the comments in order to keep the conversation going, at this point, may be too much
I think one way would be to keep bringing visibility to this Substack in the FB page to draw in broader audience and viewpoints. So many of us have found this place very informative on the posts alone, not even accounting for the exchanges of thoughts, ideas, rants in the comments. The FB page is often just a place where people post links to relevant info and events, so might as well use it as a launching pad.

That's where about 75% of my traffic comes from
