Can anyone explain how or why the American election caused classes to be cancelled?

    In the offhand chance this is a genuine question, it’s because a large number of people in this country are essentially traumatized at the prospect of a pedophile, convicted felon, rapist, fascist in the white house, and schools know that students who are so preoccupied won’t be able to learn/pay attention in class, so they give them a break to allow time to focuse on processing the trauma from the election.

      Also, kids here on student visas now have to face the very real possibility they will get revoked and deported on a whim.

      If it’s that much of a struggle, how will they ever be capable of succeeding over the next 30 years working with people that they despise, or possibly work with people that mock them and make fun of them? My point being, if they can’t do school because of an opinion of someone, they are only making the misery all self induced. There are no timeouts in life so when life gets unbearable and overwhelming, all you can do is stay focused on the future and keep going.

        By the way you talk, you crumble if something isn’t exactly the way you want it to be.

          I agree that the government is the problem in society and people must never stop fighting government power and opnly reject and defy any attempted authority. Crush and dismantle the government.

              If that’s the case, I repeat myself. Fight the government, crush the government, dismantle the government.

                  For the grieving, no. They are beasts and animals operating on instinct rather than humans who form their own coherent thought, articulate said thought, and make inquiries to expand their thoughts. To understand your enemy, you must listen to them in their own words and study them. If you cannot quote your enemy, you can never defeat them in war.
