The word “their” is woke now? Maybe Florida statute just protects identifying information of minors…
Anybody suspicious that Tallahassee the Capital of Florida, hasn’t drawn any drone action ?
Really ! With our International Airport, with Greyhound connections to : Cairo, Montezuma, BuenaVista, Dublin, Midway, Milan…. and Athens Georgia .
What we’re not Alien worthy ?
Even a drone sighting on Panama City Beach..before taken to detox.
I don’t understand.
Skep, it’s not unusual in any way to use ‘their’ in this manner when the subject is unknown. I don’t care for it myself, I’d rather use “his or her” or in this case “the student’s backpack.” But, honestly, this is hardly strange or knee-bending wokery. It’s just a little lazy, really.
The parents of the 14 year old should also be charged. Bad parenting.
