My Child Could Not Go to School Today

To the protestors at Gallaudet University: REOPEN THE CAMPUS!!

I do not want Jane Fernandes for president any more than you do, but I have a stake in the campus re-opening. I have a child who attends Kendall Demonstration Elementary School! My child had no school today because of you. If you do not reopen the campus by tomorrow morning, my child will miss another day of school AND I will have to take the day off work because my boyfriend has classes in the daytime tomorrow at his college.

This morning I spent 30 minutes waiting at a school bus stop for a school bus that never showed up. I didn't know the campus was closed until I checked the Gallaudet website on my sidekick.
