True, kids get in free. And there's usually one night a week when admission is free. Maybe I'm just not used to the prices, and in a free market they can charge what they need or like, but I do get the feeling sometimes that these institutions aren't for me, let alone for people substantially poorer.
If Michelle had expressed it that way, she might get more nods of agreement. Of course, you can't go to the museum and say they charge too much. Putting it in terms of race is much more acceptable in today's America.
Great comment x... right on every point.
OTOH, I guarantee you that her kids, who went to Lab ( expensive private school in Chicago ) went to at least TWO and probably more, museums, on field trips.
Well if you put it in that context, neither is an amusement park or a concert.
