Another School walkout

I completely missed this one. Not that I support skipping class, but this one is nice to see.

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

There were also some walk-outs over abortion, which the schools cheerfully supported, and the news media readily publicized.

Well, one of those things is true.

Meanwhile, in Baltimore:

This past winter, Baltimore schools had no heat

Then, the mayor came up with $100K to bus students to a gun control march

Now, Baltimore schools don’t have air conditioning, and it’s only the beginning of May

Honestly, knowing the state of public schools and ESPECIALLY Baltimore Public Schools, the best thing any Mayor can do is find a reason for the children not to be there.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought
