I didn't realize how many people in so many states were affected! And not to even be able to breathe...never even thought about that! And seeing how the dirt would blow through the cracks in the houses and just cover everything....and the poor kids (and adults) with asthma! Just made me so glad that we learned about soil conservation and erosion....maybe that won't repeat itself! <br /><br />Good for you and your "big mouth" sticking up for the kids. All you moms should pull your kids out of football until an apology is made. That would just be unacceptable. It's a GAME!!! That coach should be fired! That's what is wrong with schools these days....put so much emphasis on winning in sports because of all the money it brings into town instead of focusing on educating these kids so our country won't fall!!!
