[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JFC you’ve got to be kidding me. NO ONE CARES about this [b]one-term President[/b]. If my kids’ charter closes I’ll be LIVID.[/quote]

Show some respect.  One-term is irrelevant and you know it.  Sorry about your snowflakes.  Teach them some history and how to respect the dead.[/quote]

Why?

Also NP.

Whether Bush was president for 4 years or 8 years doesn't determine whether he is worthy of a state funeral or respect. GWHB was president and a state funeral is warranted.

Now whether school in DC will or must or should close just because the federal government is closed is a whole different matter.[/quote]

State funeral fine but leave our schools alone.   It does not cause that much disruption....except maybe the cathedral schools but they can just cancel. DCPS -  no way.  Eaton isn't that close.  Yikes.

I don’t think that most of DCPS needs to close but the area around Washington National Cathedral will be definitely affected.  The federal government considers a state funeral like this to be a special national security event (like a convention, inaugural, etc) in that the sitting president, much of the government,  former presidents, congressional leadership, all will be there.  If J Eaton were a neighborhood school where all the kids walked, it might not be that big a deal, but it’s very much a commuter school.  Street parking for teachers may be impacted as well, as parking is prohibited, used for staging, etc.[/quote]

Eaton is *sort of* a commuter school. Many (most?) kids walk.

Otherwise, your points stand.[/quote]
