If it’s really only 17 minutes and has a remembrance tone rather than political I don’t see the big deal. Similar to time off to go to a funeral. But if they come out with left-funded anti-NRA signs and it drags on well that’s entirely different.
I heartily disagree.
Those ‘17 minutes’ are yet another camel’s nose inside an already tattered tent.
If the little lambs feel that strongly about it, they can ask for permission to hold their ‘rememberance’ on school grounds AFTER classes.
And a funeral is an entirely different (and legitimate) matter.
