Drivers will need to be more vigilant Wednesday on their morning commute, as the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) celebrates Walk and Bike to School Day. Thousands of students across the state are expected to participate. (snip) Families that may live too far to walk or bike the entire way can still participate. Many districts are hosting drop off points within a half mile of schools, where volunteers will be ready to walk the rest of the way with those kids.

Makes you wonder what their plan is, doesn't it. Can't trust teachers to be looking out for the best interest of your children. Every pedophile in the state will be skipping work that day.

Back in the 50s and 60s when I went to school, we rode the bus or our bikes. But we were always courteous. Somehow I don't think these people will be.

Everything old is new again. Half a century ago the bike racks at schools were full of bicycles ridden there by students from near and far. And then redistricting for social purposes destroyed neighborhood schools, and buses replace bikes. Fear eventually ended any practice of riding a bike to school. OP has it right...now it's a political statement to ride a bike one day a year to apparently disrupt evil auto traffic. Thank goodness for those intrepid volunteers to walk that last half mile to school with the kids. I did that myself when I was in first grade, some days with friends picked up along the way. By junior high I walked two miles. No bus or ride in those days. It wasn't even considered "heroic".

Up to the day I started high school, I walked or rode my bike every day the weather allowed (wasn’t raining). I formed a lot of friendships and worked out a lot of social issues for myself along the way. I very rarely see kids, anywhere, riding bikes today. Sad.

Wow! Didn't realize I was so far ahead of the curve. In the sixties, I walked to school every day until high school graduation.

Yep, biking to school makes perfect sense in -40 weather with two feet of snow and ice on the ground. Perfect biking weather. And if you don't bike, you can walk. And maybe you won't get frostbite on those wonderful Minnesota winter mornings in the black darkness since the sun doesn't rise in the winter there until much later in the day. I did bike to classes every day in college......IN FLORIDA. These people are just out there somewhere beyond stupid, taking their idiocy to new depths rarely seen before.

Putting million of kids in the streets to virtue signal sounds pretty dumb. Isn't there a colorful ribbon for this to show they really care that someone else is walking to school?

What a novel concept! We walked or biked everywhere we went. Our family’s car went to the office with Dad. No one in our good=sized city would have dreamed of being driven to school. Now the Mommy cars lined up in front of all schools - including junior highs and high schools - tell how much things have changed. So do the overweight kids.

If they would have had these when I was in school, I would have wanted them every day. I loved to learn, but I hated school. (I could learn more at home.) School would NOT be the direction I would walk in.

The Treasury Department is auditing the migrant flights authorized by Governor Ron DeSantis to assess whether the expenditures were appropriate. In response to a petition from Democratic lawmakers, the department’s inspector general wrote in an October 7 letter that the agency would investigate whether Florida misused federal funds to relocate illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard. The DeSantis administration has maintained that the trips were approved on a bipartisan basis by the state legislature in a budget package many months ago. Richard K. Delmar, deputy inspector general for the Treasury Department, told Senator Ed Markey and five other Democrats that he intended “to get this work underway as soon as possible”

A top election official in Pennsylvania says the state will disregard the U.S. Supreme Court's guidance on counting mail-in ballots arriving in envelopes with typos or incorrect dates, saying that the state's Commonwealth Court has already established the practice as licit. Pennsylvania's election laws have historically required voters to include a signature and date on the outside of return envelopes when voting by mail. However, acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman announced that Pennsylvania election officials should continue counting ballots that arrive with improperly filled-out envelopes, in accordance with the Commonwealth Court's previous ruling on the matter.
