There’s an old joke in Kansas that maintains you need three people to identify something blowing in Kansas winds; one to say, “Here it comes!”, one to say, “There it is!”, and one to say “There it goes!” at pretty much the same time.

Whoever installed the two benches with the trashcan in between them, the bike racks, and the playground equipment, well done! All hell broke looks and none of them even budged.

The cameras are to ensure the children are being properly indoctrinated into christo-fascist ideologies and groomed for early childhood pregnancies without being needlessly weighed down over things like the history of America. Need to make sure there aren’t any sketchy folks standing outside handing out copies of Maus or Stamped, or protesting the lack of sex education.

Yeah, I suspect that plants with root systems that couldn’t stand up to something like this, were weeded out long ago.
