Today is my youngest birthday. Kindergarten. Already removed my oldest to private school years ago. Teacher ask us to bring cake or cookies. Take off work. Take them to school. Won't let parents into the classroom. Says, sorry, COVID. Then says we can send her to the office to see you. Wait here with the actual sick kid, running fever and throwing up, waiting on his dad and you can see her here...She shows up with 2 other kids I don't know and we hug, sing happy birthday and a random janitor shows up and offers to walk them back just cuz. Have we not set off every red flag you can set off by these dumbass policies? Twilight zone... Literally had us meet in a room they keep the sick kids...
IN a chariot of light from the regions of day, The Goddess of Liberty came; Ten thousand celestials directed the way, And hither conducted the dame.
A fair budding branch from the gardens above, Where millions with millions agree, She brought in her hand as a pledge of her love, And the plant she named Liberty Tree.
The celestial exotic struck deep in the ground, Like a native it flourished and bore; The fame of its fruit drew the nations around, To seek out this peaceable shore.
Unmindful of names or distinctions they came, For freemen like brothers agree; With one spirit endued, they one friendship pursued, And their temple was Liberty Tree.
Beneath this fair tree, like the patriarchs of old, Their bread in contentment they ate Unvexed with the troubles of silver and gold, The cares of the grand and the great.
With timber and tar they Old England supplied, And supported her power on the sea; Her battles they fought, without getting a groat, For the honor of Liberty Tree.
But hear, O ye swains, 'tis a tale most profane, How all the tyrannical powers, Kings, Commons and Lords, are uniting amain, To cut down this guardian of ours;
From the east to the west blow the trumpet to arms, Through the land let the sound of it flee, Let the far and the near, all unite with a cheer, In defence of our Liberty Tree.
