Citizen Mom at City Paper and Controversy

Submitted by Karl on September 14, 2008 - 10:44am.

Old news I know, but congrats to Citizen Mom, Amy Z. Quinn on her new column at City Paper.

Her first piece, on the dangers perceived attending Philadelphia schools, earned criticism at Philebrity, where they cast it as subtle racism. I don't know I'd characterize it that way.

To me, her concerns were valid for anyone of any race. The Philly school system is in need of serious repair (via Albert Yee). Denying that makes little sense to me.
