From a glance at the photo associated with your opinion piece, the leftist rioters appear to be emulating Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers or Leatherface. Let's hope they don't succeed in fostering that level of mayhem and murder.

"How often does anyone in Washington acknowledge that a bureaucracy has failed and take appropriate steps to try to protect Americans from further damage? Kudos to Linda McMahon for working to send power over education back to local communities where it belongs." - @FreemanWSJ From @Tommy_USA, "the biggest failure that we've... had in the last 40 years is the centralization of our American education system in Washington, DC..."

Elizabeth Warren in 2022 said the Supreme Court "burned whatever legitimacy they may still have had." Now she turns around and demands the justices check the Trump administration. Audacious.
