Hmmm . . . Back in March


In March Congressman Devin Nunes (R,CA) said the following, “Look, the schools were just canceled out here in California, which is way overkill. It’s possible kids could have went back to school in two weeks to four weeks, but they just canceled the rest of the schools.”

Our governor’s response:

“I don’t want to give him much air,” Newsom said during a remote appearance on The View. “I’ve not sourced him for advice on pretty much any issue . . . “

Looking through a  retro-spectroscope, what Nunes’s advice back in March had been followed? Would there have been more Covid infections in California? Yes, probably, but Covid is entirely different in children. Only rarely do get significant symptoms, and the mortality rate in kids is as near to zero as one can get.

But! . . . We wouldn’t be in the mess that we are in now about children going back to school, err . . . or of not going back to school, or when? . . . or how? . . . or where? . . . or how many days a week? . . . etcetera!

The latest info about the plans for the upcoming school year are  . . . the best way to answer that is a visual. Imagine a group of frenzied people with electric-shocked looking hair, hands raised above their heads, running aimlessly in circles, screaming!!

Does that image exude confidence that they will come up with a workable plan? What is the governor’s plan? Perhaps now he could seek the counsel of Devin Nunes!?

Shame on me for being so harsh with those who are going to make these education decisions! However, when I look at some of the their names, I get weak. One has a hybrid last name (Konigar-Macklin), and I have strong doubts, in general, about the thought processes of those who have hybrid last names.( Maybe a topic for another day.) Another person involved as a county schools spokeswoman has a first name of “Music” . . . you can’t make this stuff up!  OMG!

I wonder if “hyphenated-last-name” and Music will be asking Congressman Nunes for advice? Duh!
