Hello Nikki,

People will put up with a lot of nonsense in order to be able to put their kid in someone's else's care "for free" for 6 hours a day; 8 or more hours if you pay for afterschool care or if afterschool care is heavily subsidized (along with free lunches etcetera).

After Younkin's victory in Virginia, I saw a clip from CNN where a consultant declares that the Democrat party is the real party working in the interests of parents, because (and I lightly paraphrase) Democrats fully fund schools, and Democrats keep schools open so parents can depend on being able to drop their kids off at school so they can go to work every day!

So, they are the party of working parents... right? Where both parents work, or there is a single working parent, perhaps most nobly: a single mother.

It's hard to pull your kids from school over mask requirements when you "work outside the home", and working outside the home, and being able to have children without at least one other adult signed up to help you raise them, has been the overarching goal of the feminist movement these past 50 years.

so, the "other adult signed up to help" is teachers in the schools. And the people who run the schools are pretty much all registered Democrats, and they require masks until further notice -- until the further goals of the-party-working-in-the-interests-of-parents have been met.

Kids need to go in w/o masks, the whole school needs to protest. Need a protest in Trenton. He should be talking about stopping the mask mandate, not making it worse!
