A poetic retelling of the Dr. Seuss debacle at Olentangy SchoolsHave you considered a long winter vacation? Away from the pressures of legislating, hostilities would begin to soften. Picture a cozy lodge somewhere. A fireplace crackles. Snowflakes drift past a window. All of you are in pajamas and fuzzy slippers, relaxed, content, singing songs from 1957, the year you regard as the high watermark of social progress.
I envision a long period of restorative time to enjoy nature . You would learn to trust each other again by engaging in group activities—rappelling, rock-climbing, spelunking. Next, you should go on a cruise. I’m not talking seven days in the Caribbean on one of those floating petri dishes. I’m talking a luxurious around-the-world journey where you'd have the ship all to yourself.Sure, it would take months, but the bonds of friendship would strengthen as you traverse the globe, breathing the sea air and avoiding exotic ports lest they expose you to cultures different than your own.
