Tuesday Open Thread
There was a Seattle School Board candidate forum last night at the senior living home, Horizon House. I'll have a separate thread as there were some notable statements made.One comment of importance came from President Leslie Harris about the district/Board wrestling with is allowing students whose parents send a note to walk out of class on Friday for the Climate March which is happening. So if your child is considering this, stay tuned about what to do if you want that absence excused.
Great story from the Seattle Channel on The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Group has been inspiring, empowering, and tapping into the potential of Seattle area youth of color for more than four decades. The all-volunteer non-profit organization mentors young men to help them achieve their goals of education, employment, leadership, and community connection. Through programs like Project M.I.S.T.E.R.™, where participants learn life skills and college prep, and the rite-of-passage "Tie-One-On" networking luncheon, the Breakfast Group is changing lives and inspiring the entire community.Good story from the Seattle Times about the district's new dress code. One comment asks about hats which apparently are not addressed in the new policy. Another person notes that pajamas cover up private parts; can you wear those to school?
In North Carolina, a cheerleading squad got in hot water for taking a photo before a football game of them holding an election banner supporting Trump. Via the New York Post:
All North Carolina high schools have a policy that prohibits students from displaying political signs on campus or at school events.
District officials said the following day that the act wasn’t endorsed by school or staff and that a student had brought the banner in and taken the photo before the game.
“The focus of Friday night football games should be on our students – the players, cheerleaders, band members – the focus should not be on politics,” Stanly County Schools said.
District officials said the policy against political displays on campus or school events “does not prohibit students from speaking their minds or engaging in protected First Amendment activities.”
“Because the cheerleaders were in uniform and were acting as representatives of the school, the display of the sign could be perceived as the school or school system endorsing a political campaign,” the officials said.I note that a photo from the West Seattle Blog at an area football game showed Nathan Hale cheerleaders taking a knee before the game started. Not sure if that's the same thing as the North Carolina story.
Great news for people who love comics AND science; The Far Side is coming back.
