The GoFundMe examples are quietly horrifying. They show how privatization shifts responsibility downward while masquerading as generosity. When students are crowdfunding heat for schools, the social contract has clearly failed.

This is an intellectually honest moment. By invoking Labaree, Dr. Robin acknowledges that the public/private binary is messy. I appreciate this because it avoids moral absolutism while still insisting that mission matters as much as funding.
