Maine Teen Feeling Isolated From Restrictions Commits Suicide. Mother: ‘This Remote Learning Is Crap

[Revmitchell]

A 16-year-old boy in Maine, despondent over his isolation because of coronavirus restrictions that made his school resort to remote learning, committed suicide last Friday, triggering his mom to write on Facebook, “This remote learning is crap.”

Spencer Smith, a sophomore at Brunswick High School, felt increasingly isolated as a result of distance learning. He had dreams of playing lineman on the Brunswick High School football team, but those hopes were dashed when it was replaced by flag football. (Note: Image above of BHS football players does not include Smith.)

I’m sure all the politicians and teachers unions that forced the lock down will say, “my heart breaks for this family, but we had to do this to save lives”, not realizing for a second the statement was is at odds with the science and reality of the harm it does.

peace to you

I have no doubts that this will be the response, verbally & publically anyway, but their thinking is IMHO, "Our control isn't complete yet, but this is heading in the right direction!"
