Actually, I need to check myself. If there were images of Presidents Biden or Obama exhibiting a sweet moment with a young child, I’d praise them.
I’m admitting my double standard, but I still say this whole situation is dystopian and surreal.

Who dresses a little kid in an overly long trench coat? A formal coat at that age is a pea coat.

Want to know what is worse than trying to navigate medical care and insurance in the United States?
Dental care and insurance. At this rate, I’m going to lose all my teeth before I get this sorted (possibly from grinding them to dust).

All teachers need more time to do their job well.
Period.
Full stop.
Teachers of literature (and all humanities, really) need time to be good students so they can be good teachers of their content and craft. The world changes so fast and we need time to study it.

Not sure how many will actually see this, but I have a dilemma:
I tend to view important events as worthy of watching broadcast in real-time, as I am very aware that edits can easily bias; even heinous ones.
Do I suck it up and watch a live broadcast of the inaugur-bomination? Do I ignore it?
