Vt Gov Makes Schools Question Kids About Thanksgiving Plans
2020-11-27
[Townhall] If families in Vermont dare to go to Grandma’s for Thanksgiving they can forget about sending their children back to school next week.

According to Gov. Phil Scott, schools will be adding new questions to daily health checks about how students spent their holiday. Depending on the answer, kids may have to take online classes for a two-week period or quarantine for a week and then get tested for COVID-19. If negative, they can come back.

"We understand how difficult this is, but since we know these types of gatherings have been the cause of so many outbreaks, we've got to do all we can to slow this down," Scott said.

The governor, a "Republican," thought businesses should require the same of their employees.
Will the Gov pay bounties to the finks?
"From my standpoint, this is fair warning to those of you who are planning to have gatherings from outside your household for Thanksgiving," Scott continued. "If you don’t want your kids to have to transition to remote learning and quarantine for a seven-day period, maybe you ought to make other plans."
Unless, of course, the students and employees prevaricate (lie). Meanwhile, at Coronavirusbellcurve, cases are trending down and deaths are running a bit less than one a day.

#10  As soon as kids get on tap school buses they learn the “middle finger”. This is a teachable moment for all parents to instruct their kids on the rare occasional appropriate use of that hand gesture.

#9  How about a little turnaround on our brownshirt teachers:
"Tell me about your Thanksgiving experience"
"You just looked at my groin, didn't you? Why are you staring at it? I'm telling my parents!"

#8  The parents should tell their children to answer "None of your business!". Even if they had only the nuclear family for dinner.

#7  Kids, try quoting Justice Gorsuch:

"Even if the Constitution has taken a holiday during this pandemic, it cannot become a sabbatical."

Or:

“We may not shelter in place when the Constitution is under attack. Things never go well when we do."

#6  I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may tend to incriminate me.

Oh, wait! Does the Constitution still apply in a pandemic, Chief Justice Roberts?

#4  Show your teacher/employer/Governor you can use the term FUCK OFF! properly.

Get an A+ in Anglo Saxon.

#3  1) Who did Gov. Scott have Thanksgiving with? Oh, you're not saying? Then neither are we.

2) This gives the kids an excellent chance to fuck with the teachers; a few of 'em will figure this out and the rest will catch right on. Release the grade-school Kraken!

#2  If you don't Mirandize them first, any subsequent actions are invalid. Tell your kids to lawyer up. Tell your kids if they feel threatened to demand a lawyer.
