Of course, it was only months ago that days of devastating riots took place in Minneapolis, just a few miles from the schools these districts administer. Those riots were infinitely more destructive than the one last week in Washington, but they drew no analogous response from the public schools\u2013certainly not one that criticized the mayor, city council and governor who tolerated and even encouraged rioting and lawlessness.
