It happened again. Granted, this example has a dash more of woke salt in it, but it’s still another school board that’s about to deal with a mic fiasco.

Chardá Bell-Fontenot, the vice president of the La Mesa-Spring Valley School Board outside of San Diego, said that reopening schools was akin to slavery and an exercise in white supremacy. The Daily Caller’s Jorge Ventura has the clips and notes that Ms. Bell-Fontenot seems unaware that everything she is saying could be viewed by the general public.
Chula Vista unveils accessible playground structure
The play structure at Chula Vista’s Veterans Park, destroyed in late 2020 by a fire set by vandals, has been restored and rebuilt in a more inclusive form. The city built a new structure using GT Wave from GameTime, an inclusive net climber. It allows children who use wheelchairs to access the structure via a transfer platform and path leading to a slide. Wheelchair users can play with friends on the net climber. Most playground structures are built around “post and deck,” which provides a single path of play for the user. Net climbers allow users to create their own path of play, which helps them develop their own risk assessment, decision making, and body coordination. Chula Vista is the first city in the nation to install such a structure. Total cost of the equipment (structure, surfacing and swings) was $120,000, funded by the insurance claim and Measure P, the city’s half-cent sales tax for infrastructure needs. Vetera
