American priorities

In American schools, sports always seems much more important than education.

This morning as we were walking we caught a glimpse at the High School Cheerleader team training in view (we suppose) of next school year, with no apparent concern whatsoever for social distancing.

Are we missing something or is that the “new normal” in the absence of anti-Covid medication or an effective vaccine?

We were under the impression that school boards where agonizing on ways they could re-open in August, but the display we were privy to, was more like “business as usual”.

Well, we probably forgot that in the American culture, sports trump all the rest and we’re all ready to kill for it!
