Which initially are frequently wrong. If the folks investigating get it wrong . I can see why statements are later than we would like.

Shocked and thankful you and yours are OK. My kids are grown and have their own opinions about this shit. Both being teachers. I see their concern and fear first hand. My heart just breaks for them.

I have had some input in their career choice. Constantly on edge about this advice.

I think teachers should get Hazardous duty pay and the kids they teach? WTF, the kids, dumbfounded.

Pacifist Patriot, I/we are with you in spirit.
