They have a half hour debate on whether to include trans racial adoptee as an ethnicity category, remembering that the suggestion Jewish was rejected at a previous meeting for also being a religion.  The existing ethnicity list is already overly detailed and cumbersome.  It is a comic debate.  The deciding argument is whether the Police would ask about your adoption status.  They recall a school production of Peter Pan which Don says was offensive to Indigenous Americans.  “What about those with an amputated hand?” says I. 

New parent Carina (Susan Kelechi Watson) is condescendingly told that one new parent is always invited to the Executive Committee.  A letter comes from the local Health Board to say that there is an outbreak of mumps and they would recommend excluding those who have not had the MMR vaccine. Suzanne immediately bristles at the idea of excluding any child, and the way in which this letter should be forwarded to parents is discussed.

A couple of weeks later and the first child with a diagnosis of mumps, Patient Zero, results in the meeting of all parents being held by Zoom. As the Committee discuss, we see scrolled above the comments of the participants of extreme views but including one chap called Leslie Kaufman with a dog picture whose “Homer Simpson thumbs up” punctuates remarks.   The comments of the spat are so funny and although we are used to reading surtitles repeating what is being said onstage, the laughter drowns the committee’s heated debate.  Interestingly, the committee appear not to be reacting to text comments, just debating among themselves, but the audience is wrapped.  Yes someone eventually used the word Nazi or was it Fascist in the Zoom scrolling?  I could have watched these witty opinions all night as they scroll up the wall and on across the ceiling of the set.
