I wonder if Milo Yiannopoulos, Ben Shapiro, Charles Murray and Heather Mac Donald are reacting to these antifa riots the same way I am.

A day after one of the nation’s largest school systems announced its proposal for fall learning, teachers within Fairfax County Public Schools rose in revolt and refused to teach in-person, as the plan demands, until officials revise their strategy.

Under the plan, he wrote, families in the Northern Virginia district, which serves 189,000 students, would be able to choose between 100 percent virtual learning or part-time in-person schooling.
