The answer to Brooks’s question is: “No.” We should not be “marching to get Black and brown children back safely into schools right now.” We should be advocating (sorry, I’m not personally into marching) for children to get back into school. Children of any race.
Now, if I were going to give Brooks the benefit of the doubt, I would say he is emphasizing the race and ethnicity of many of the students harmed by the policies of progressive mayors and teachers’ unions in order to tweak the left, which claims to stand for the downtrodden but which often enacts policies that hurt those same downtrodden.
You could be right about why he focused on non-white children. But there are other legitimate reasons; such as the belief that the problem impacts non-white children especially hard. We worry a lot about forest fires in CA because CA has a lot of them and the damage is more severe. That doesn't mean a forest fire in Kentucky isn't bad. It just means that the bigger problem isn't in KY.
https://www.nccp.org/demographic/ shows that over half of non-white children live in poverty. That might be a reason to focus on that demographic.
If you get canceled, so will I. All lives matter.

I think 10 dollars a month would be more appropriate
