Maybe they should have invited supporters from the Clinton and Obama campaigns and the DNC:
At my kids’ school (preschool through fifth grade) today, they’re participating in Unity Day. Here’s the description for this year from a note I received:
This year’s games are based on the television show “Survivor.” Embrace the theme, be creative, and most of all, have fun with it! When explaining the games to the students, please emphasize teamwork and sportsmanship.
I’ll try to not recall how I used to be involved in theater and can remember being told to pretend I’m a piece of bacon sizzling in a frying pan and that I needed to “embrace the frying pan.”
From the note home from the school:
Dear Parents,
Your child will be participating in “Unity Games,” an experience planned by the physical education department. These games will provide students with an opportunity to participate in a fun atmosphere on an even playing field. most of the activities require students to work together to solve a problem and don’t depend on the student’s ability to be the strongest or the fastest to be successful.
One commenter at my blog where I also wrote about Unity Day mentioned the parachute acitivity as being one of his favorite. What do you think would happen if the DNC RBC committee had all had to be part of that and made Clinton, Obama and Dean go under the parachute until…when exactly?
