People saying ‘bUt wHaT aBoUt fOoTbAlL’ as Houston ISD announces they’re delaying school starting in order to save your children’s lives is the most Texas response.
Thank god HISD is delaying and remaining virtual for the first six weeks. I see no reason my kiddo would be going at all in fall, but I feel a lot better seeing that they are taking this seriously.
