First day back to school, I told each class about Griner's 9 year sentence, and out of 80+ students, less than 10 raised their hands, and I had to explain it to the rest.
When I asked how many of them watched the news, not one said yes.
This is grade 9-12 , and I am horrified.
By the way, this school in over 95% POC.

And you think you will find it any different in a POWO school? I don't think you're in touch with young people's viewing habits anymore.

So who the hell is Griner? I'm only aware of the US and Russia talking about prisoner exchanges, as well as the less famous guy being held in a Russian prison for having medical marijuana in his luggage when he arrived in Moscow. And I read the news fairly extensively every single day.

Off to do a search...

...ah yes, there is the problem: I always skip over news about sports and athletes. Leaves more time for the stuff that matters.

No you didn't, you're not allowed within a mile from a school.

Anyway, why would a school child know who a minor netball player is?
