    I don't think a mural like this one should have a place in a public school. At least not with the demon face and political messaging.

    Creepy as hell.
    A cartoon bunny and a flying pig trying to jab kids with covid vaccinations?
    "Get your shots" seems to be the only "stay healthy" message in this mural.
    Where's the diet & exercise part of "stay heathy"?
    Not even a soccer ball.

    Plastic, best thing we can do is avoid buying it. It surprises me that there isn't a use for mixed types of plastic yet.

    Maybe this will work:

    Then again they appear to be a manufacturer of plastic stuff, so maybe just green washing their business.

    "Fabre added that nose-picking was understudied and more research was needed. “You never know when studying this type of behaviour where you can end up, and sometimes you can discover an application that we’re not expecting,” she said."

    Oh. And here is the little bugger, lol. Looks fairly disreputable to me:

    Most states dropped in math and reading proficiency during the "pandemic." I know that Minnesota took a big dive.

    Yes, if you want your kids' school to include your religion, send your kid to a private school that incorporates your religion. Very simple, I've never deviated from that position.

    Okay, I got the link to work. What a fraud pùssy. Nice 2 door "charger" with a goofy rear end and a stunted nose. Stupid speakers stupid wheels. Doesn't look or sound like a dodge at all. Guy is a dipshít supreme.

    Kids are stupid. The mural is stupid. It represents the kids. Why do adults concern themselves with nonsense like this?

    Because we are responsible for the stupid kids. :)

    Visual art is supposed to evoke an emotional response from the viewer. Looks like the young artist who created the mural was successful.

    I say a high school student/artist, commissioned to do a mural for middle school students, is NOT "supposed to" evoke an emotional response from the parents of the middle schoolers. Keep it simple kid. Play it straight.

    Okay, I had to go back and look at the mural.

    My thoughts: So what? It's less offensive than Rug Rats.

    Just my opinion, FWIW. (2 cents please)
