@MandyMay for some reason it brought to mind the #LittleRockNine and Eisenhower sending in the 101st Airborne Division to escort kids to school, while putting the Arkansas National Guard under federal command…if that could happen in the 1950s under a Republican President, surely Biden can’t just stand by and watch this happen to kids today?
