Context? LXXXI

I'm not sure if it was a superintendent, principal, teacher, or parent being interviewed on the radio, but she was opining on students returning to school.

I'm pretty sure I heard her say, "I wholeheartedly believe that every student deserves to be alive."

"That is--or at least should be--one of the most uncontroversial statements I've heard anyone say recently," I thought.  "And yet, with the state of the world in 2020, I wouldn't be completely surprised to hear someone argue the opposite point of view, as absurd as it is."

As a former co-worker used to say, "Everything makes sense to someone."
