    In our area, kids that tested positive for COVID went to school anyway, causing the district to close down in person schooling. This really happened. School closed a week earlier for Thanksgiving break and will be online after the break.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Yeah, this is pretty typical; you go into a discussion demanding expertise and facts and pretending to sound sage, then when someone fires truth at your brainpan, you shoot out a personal potshot and leave.

    Why do you expect ANYONE to take you seriously when you behave this way? Aren't you like 70 years old? I guess some people never grow up....

    Thanks for proof on why 70% of Americans are not Democrats. Kudos!

    This is nothing new. Dutch's "Let's have people go without for now has been the rallying cry on the right for some 45 years. And I've also never been convinced by this "the apollo project gave us prosperity" bullshit, either. Even if we believe it, the modern-day dollars cost of the space race was $260B from 1960-72.

    Dutch, you're telling me we couldn't use that money to ensure Medicare 4 All, boost education, and provide funding for minority-owned businesses in low-income areas and get a bigger bang for our buck?

    I hotly disagree.
    They're already trying to defund Medicare and Social Security because "we can't afford it."

    Those assholes are not just to the right of center -- they are the alt-right idiots who plotted to kidnap (and probably kill) Michigan's governor. Yes, those exact assholes in that picture. They are in no way representative of typical (R) voters.

    That's pathetic. What are your thoughts on that? You guys staying healthy so far? One of my professors and her two young sons (9 and 6) are sick with it now. The younger boy has severe asthma.

    M'eh... They've now changed it. They are cleaning up the school so it will be one week after Thanksgiving break and they'll be back at it. So, only one week of online school.

    My kid decided to do online school from the get go so it isn't something I worry about too much. But IMHO, they likely did it because their friends wanted them to get them out of school early. Kids do stupid stuff like that sometimes.

    We all do stupid stuff in life. Glad your kid is home and safe and cool with distant learning. Best wishes for good health and life to you and yours.

    Kids do stupid shit. That's why, up to a point, the parents are held responsible. If a parent allowed a known COVID-positive kid to go to school and that resulted in a loved one dying, I'd be very, very pissed off. Asking for criminal charges and filing a civil lawsuit would be just the beginning.

    There must be justice for the wrongfully killed.
