Take a virtual tour with Devon Wiechens and Brian Sellers as they share stories about the new high school and show many of the amazing spaces that students will soon enjoy. Go Buffalo!"

This in an amazing facility. (Perhaps more buffalo than roamed on the range.) I love how students are being prepared for the hospitality profession by teaching them to wait tables and for construction management without referring to, say, carpentry or plumbing. Nice shop! This will help students aspire as well as get entry-level jobs. I saw a shot in a library, but I didn’t notice any books. Perhaps that is appropriate, given the word last night that the Florida legislature has passed a law forbidding teachers from assigning students to read entire plays by Shakespeare (died 1616). Only carefully chosen quotes that will be on exams will be allowed. Well, after all, Romeo and Juliet encourage suicide pacts between fourteen year old lovers! And Hamlet’s mom marries her brother-in-law who killed her husband. And Lady Macbeth was a murderer. Indeed, Shakespeare’s plays are as filled with murder and sex as dozens of movies today! Can’t have that! (Less than most rap songs, though.) Also, Shakespeare’s plays are in fact filled with double-entendres, though most students won’t catch the jokes,. (The book “Shakespeare’s Bawdy” lists them all.) But who needs Shakespeare. Who understands Shakespeare? (Well, I do, and everyone else in my family.) But imagine if any kids from Florida get into Harvard and discover that they are drowning academically because they don’t have the knowledge elite students are expected to have, even though they have lots of buffalo. Below is an example of a Shakespeare quote with double meanings.
