NFL Taking a Knee This Sunday

    Most TV pundits have it close, but not spot on, on the issue of NFL players kneeling for the National Anthem. For the players, it is not just a free speech issue. It's not their First Amendment right to be "allowed" to do it. It is their historical responsibility to do it.

    My hope would be that, after Trump's blatantly racist comments on the matter, the habit catches on like wildfire across the players on all the teams today.And all the players in every sport, professional, or other. This is their moment to stand up and do what's right.

   But, more of an impact would be if the fans would refuse to stand for the anthem. It's time to show some solidarity here.

http://www.nytimes.com/1989/04/05/us/education-vermont-seeks-tighter-rules-for-prviate-schools.html We made the New York Times http://marthamoxley.com/news/042802gt.htm And our OTHER claim to infamy : Micheal Skakel and the Moxley murder This was one of the places I went to school. A very unique place in a very unique time. Pictured, the dining hall in the main building, "The Lodge", and a few years after the place closed down. For Vershireites with foggy memories (for whatever reasons), or nostalgia: http://web.archive.org/web/20080624190520/http://www.vershireschool.org/ I think Chip Allee put this together, but it's no longer maintained.
