So-Called "Railway Safety Act" Constitutes a Political Handout to Big Labor That Does Nothing to Improve Safety At All

According to news reports, the mother, who happens to be an estate lawyer, is considering a lawsuit after her third grader came home from school "stressed and upset" because she did not have recess. The mother plans to bring a motion before the school board to restore recess time in all elementary schools.

The mother counters that parents were never told about a plan to reduce recess time.
