So just in case you think our school district is screwed up, take a look at what the snowflake school board is doing in Edwardsville.
Yes, Edwardsville, District 7, Home of the Tigers, Home of the high test score, is cancelling classes on the day of the eclipse because one of their students might look at the sun ON THEIR WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL.
Are they serious? Come on E'ville ones, you're the district with all the smart kids. Wouldn't they know better than to look directly at the sun on a complete solar eclipse? As the article points out, this is more about giving the staff a three day weekend than making sure Suzie doesn't go blind.
