The day the richers get out of the limo is the day I'll walk the kid to school.
This will end the first time some perv snatches a kid, watch.
"Walk-to-school movement afoot across Mass." by James Vaznis, Globe Staff | September 19, 2008
NEWTON - This so-called walking school bus is part of a new citywide campaign this fall that mirrors a growing effort across the state to encourage children to walk to school instead of hitching a ride with their parents.
Just persuading students to put one foot in front of the other, advocates say, could dramatically reduce school traffic jams, slim children's waistlines, and help relieve school budgets of some gas-guzzling buses. And high prices at the gas pump might just jolt parents into giving it a try.
Yup, trillions for wars, billions for banks, I mean, how many times I gotta type it, readers?
The locations are among 65 communities vying for millions of dollars in safety funds from the federal Safe Routes To School program, which fosters walking programs.
I knew GLOBAL GOVERNMENT had to be behind this somehow.
Walking advocates say the risk of harm to students walking to and from school is low - so long as they remember to avoid strangers, walk with a peer or in a group, and exercise basic safety precautions such as looking both ways before crossing a street.
"The data doesn't show a lot of accidents on school routes or kids being snatched, but if you talk to parents you would think it's an everyday occurrence," said Karen Hartke, a project manager at WalkBoston who works with schools.
And WHY WOULD THAT BE, agenda-pushing MSM?!!!!
The increased number of children catching rides to school has created massive traffic snarls at arrival and dismissal times.
Fuck the TRAFFIC when it comes to KIDS' SAFETY!!!
Nine-year-old Marisa Cohen said she mostly prefers walking. "If it's a really nice day, you get to be outside, and sometimes at school we don't get much recess," she said.
She does not like walking on cold days, when she has to bundle up in a winter coat, hat, and gloves. But her mother usually makes her and her brother, Evan, walk anyway.
That's a bit heartless, huh? I'll bet the kid gets a beating if they complain!
"Once they get going, it's not so bad," said Wendy Cohen, who led the "walking school bus" Wednesday.
While getting programs started is the first step, the real test is when the snow begins to fall. A couple of brutal winters pushed many parents and students back into the cars, and many of them did not return to walking when the weather warmed.
EXCUSE ME? BRUTAL WINTERS?
With GLOBAL WARMING all over the place?
PFFFFFFFFTTTTT!!!
You see, readers? I DON'T LIE to you!!!!
This fall, the school is trying to jump-start its program by teaming with the town's other elementary schools and hiring a townwide walking coordinator with grant funding provided by WalkBoston, MassRIDES, and the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation.
They couldn't find a better use for the globalist $$$$?
Like repairing the school?
You can see why I get pissed at the lying, agenda-promoting, corporate-elite press, right, 'murkns?
