MILWAUKEE (AP) — A bus driver was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence while transporting the Pittsburgh Pirates from Chicago to Milwaukee for their weekend series with the Brewers. Illinois State Police said the driver was traveling away from officers seeking to escort the bus on its trip to Milwaukee late Thursday night. Troopers said they observed more erratic driving and eventually stopped the bus on the right shoulder of Interstate 94 in Chicago. Police said the driver was arrested after they observed “multiple signs of impairment.” The driver isn’t a Pirates employee but was contracted to drive the team to Milwaukee after the completion of their series with the Chicago Cubs. “The important thing is that all of our personnel arrived in Milwaukee safely,” Warecki said.

This Father’s Day, I’m thinking about Martin Amis, the famous son of a famous dad. “Ted Lasso,” a show about fathers, sometimes has the kind of cornball writing that would make Martin Amis bow his head in sorrow. “And nobody ever gets over anything,” Amis wrote. Still, “Ted Lasso” is celebrating the kind of intergenerational parent learning that makes us better as a species. Another great writer, and one, like Amis, who wrote greatly about fathers, died this past week as I wrote this piece.

What qualifies a school board to know more about our children’s needs than what we, the parents, know? And by whose authority are parents not permitted to question the decisions of such august bodies? However if your child is experiencing identity/gender issues, that’s the school’s and child’s business and not the parents’.
