      I like the spirit, but that seems like it’d just fracture the country further and keep Alabama high school students trapped in Alabama, which is exactly what the old assholes making these decisions want

      Instead, there should be a criminal charges and a civil lawsuit from the federal government for violating these kids civil rights to a real education, and the offenders should be deemed likely witness intimidators and jailed pre-trial.
