What I find ridiculous though is that a very large school district in the area actually cancelled classes for all students because of the parade. Their logic is that the majority of the kids would skip classes anyway. I personally think this was wrong. My son went to school and wanted to know why I wouldn't let him skip or why his school couldn't be cancelled.
I knew about the parade, but cancelling school? That's a bit over the top...
