WSU should counter-offer
Concerning the WSU football player’s (We are United) movement demands upon WSU and the Pac 12 that covered Covid safety and racial justice issues, I think WSU should make a counter-offer.
WSU should concede to the players demands if the players agree to help lower the incidence of inner city black and minority children being shot while walking to school in cities like Chicago-Baltimore-St Louis-Los Angeles-and Washington D.C. The Mayors and city governments of those cities should be held accountable for the violence they ignore , but also for the abysmal public schools they refuse to improve.
The Black Lives Matter movement should also agree to allowing (and encouraging) citizens to support any political party that actually has a history of improving schools with alternative school choices / improving public and children’s safety / and support of tax benefits to actual working people.
