LOL, I must reply ,by complimenting your reply, to my reply
1. Yes, some school boards have put in some dopey crap. It's been that way since Miss Biddle was school marm for the
1 room school house in Walnut Grove , Minn. ( * Little House on the Prairie TV show , depicted life in 1880's.)
2. Recently some disgruntled parents took to making death threats and disrupting school board mtgs.
Issues like Covid vaccine and mask mandates plus racial sensitivity classes , are the public outcry.
Some over zealous types have sent death threats and stacked school members , etc
My 2 cents - I don't agree with every policy decision made by school boards. However, what really
sent parents over the edge were school shut downs over Covid concerns.
Most parents work and depend on schools to care for elementary age kids during day hours (M- F ).
Having the kids at home "full time" caused a lot of emotional and financial stress.
They didn't want to admit THAT as it makes parents defensive about spending more time with their kids.
BUT, I think it drove 'em crazy, especially wwhen combined with work issues at the same time.
