This is a big issue, and part of the reason for a protest/campaign against a public school district here. Virtual districts are not allowing sports until school is back in the classroom. High school parents and kids are fighting as hard as they can.

A good friend of mine, not one to ever post political comments on FB, or even in general, is now taking a leadership role in organizing and fighting.

One of the points of their platform is the lower income kids, they can’t switch to club, they can’t have private trainers, they will fall behind and potentially lose much needed scholarships... in addition to losing the healthy outlet in home situations that may not be good for them.
The fight is for all kids, they need their teammates and coaches and hard earned spots on the team.

The rest of the league is playing, but one specific school district decided to go virtual at the last minute, canceling all sports in the process. It’s just so sad, and right now, the district doesn’t appear to be caving, even a little bit.
Well then people need to pay attention to what these elected officials are doing and if they are unhappy vote them out.

Yep. I’m learning a lot more about how public schools work, who makes decisions, and how the public can fight back after all of this. There’s a lot of people both elected and appointed, at multiple levels, who need to go. I might not have a kid at one of the affected schools, but I have jumped in to help them as much as I can. I think the entire community needs to help speak up for the families.
We’ll see if it does any good.

I love how many of those names were Disney-inspired (Stitch, Buzz, Woody, Rex). I guess I wasn't that creative with Belle and Jasmine. 😛
We seemed to have had a pattern with our dogs that I hadn't noticed until awhile after we had our second two. Names of our dogs - Sugar (RIP), Hershey, Cookie. :rolleyes:
Two of our cats have Disney inspired names, Tigger and Oliver. The other 3 are Gidget, Angel (name she had from the shelter), and Piper.
