It was a scheduled international passenger flight from Barcelona–El Prat Air- port in Spain to Düsseldorf Airport in Germa- ny. When the pilot left the flight deck to use the restroom, the co-pilot seized the opportunity to put a diabolical plan into action. He locked the cockpit door and started a controlled de- scent that continued until the aircraft hit a mountainside in the French Alps. During the harrowing descent, the captain banged on the door but received no response. He tried to break down the door, but after the September 11 attacks, the airline had rein- forced it to prevent intrusion. The co-pilot re- fused to respond to all commands from the captain and Marseille air traffic control. No amount of protests or shouting changed the outcome of the deranged co-pilot. The analogy is simple: public schools have locked parents out of the cockpit. The "woke" "cancel culture" "critical race theory" loons in the basement are flying the plane into a mountain. They are using communist tactics taken from Stalin and Mao's playbook. It is woke-Communism. A recent headline read, "Get your kid the heck out of traditional public schools: Jour- nalist exposes teachers hiding CRT." Adam Guillette says schools all over the country are teaching CRT using "selective language to cover what they teach. The journalist visit- ed over 150 school districts across the country and saw the same thing everywhere. Teachers view teaching critical race theory as "what is best for those kids." He adds, "they're happy to break the law because they think it's in the best interest of every child to learn about so- cial justice and systemic racism and how cap- italism is inherently racist." Lindsey Barr, a teacher and a concerned mom, was fired after voicing concerns for her own kids. In August, Barr learned about a pic- ture book that was going to be presented to young students, during a library read-aloud program. The book, "All Are Welcome," con- tains several illustrations of same-sex cou- ples parenting and expecting children. Her two youngest children were in first and third grade at McAllister Elementary School. She spoke to McAllister's principal, "as a moth- er, expressing my concern that the book's il- lustrations conflict with my faith and the val- ues I seek to impart to my children, and I sim- ply asked that they be excused from the read- aloud program." The school responded to her concerns by firing her. She can no longer sub- stitute teach at McAllister or any of the eight other Bryan County Schools. In California, a nonbinary teacher boasts on changing students' genders without par- ents knowing. Olivia Garrison, a 9th grade Greetings friends, it is time for pen and pa- per to meet the ramblings of my mind. It has been a little harsher weather for about a week. Daggone ground hog had to go and see his shadow but they say his accuracy is not that great. The weather people on television are far more accurate and they can even estimate the temperatures. Monday school was delayed by two hours and the next day it was canceled. I have had to call off events before because of threatening weather and if conditions are less than it could have been people become arm chair experts. Doctor Blake done a good job keeping our kiddos safe as possible and I would like her to realize there will always be folks who think they know more about how to do your job than you do. Please accept my thank you for doing what you have to do to protect our kids. My wife cooked a turkey and a lot of the fixings for our supper. We had our sons drop by and get to go plates so Mom could clean up the mess earlier instead of later. Sure didn't hear any complaints because it did taste mighty yummy. School was canceled again for Wednesday which left us with both kiddos and the two of them together often calls for a couple of nerve pills. It is not their fault they are full of energy but papaw runs out of steam lots earlier than they do. Wednesday morning at Randy's the IPL re- tirees had breakfast get together. It's remark- able they haven't changed their looks much just put a wrinkle here and a wrinkle there along with erasing some hair and of course you have to have a pain here and a pain there. It was good to see everyone there. Wednesday afternoon Hamilton's water was at our house renewing our water soften- er. They put new media in reactor tank and installed new paddles and o rings. It has been in service for over 12 years so we hope to get another 10 years out of the rebuild. It seems like forever since we have gotten to go Evansville with friends without seeing a
