    My wife is a teacher at a school with a high immigrant/refugee population. There’s legit families here legally being wrangled up by ICE. Mom or Dad being ghosted with students having to be unenrolled and moved to a different family member across the country.

      Working in a majority minority school is really depressing atm. Makes me feel so bitter towards people. These babies are just learning.
