    I thought you said your cynicism was equal opportunity.

    Shouldn’t you be accusing those Uvalde parents of just using an excuse to get out of work? Is there a difference?

      No see my cynicism there is quite different. I’d be mostly wondering how many of them drove there while texting and distracted while totally doing everything they can to save lives.

        I guess your cynicism isn’t equal opportunity then. Either people only protest to get out of things or they don’t. Kids are not some special case when adults want to get out of work as much as they want to get out of school.
