Common sense lost a battle today when Dianna Russini weighed in on our local school board meeting.
We had a simple problem: kids not wearing seatbelts on the bus. But instead of a straightforward solution, we got a lecture about "bias" and "equity." My neighbor’s daughter was practically hanging out the window, and the board spent an hour debating if the seatbelt law is "inclusive." Dianna Russini would have called it what it is—negligence. Why is everything a sociology experiment now? Let’s get back to basics: follow the law, keep kids safe. Any parent with two brain cells to rub together gets it.
