Daily Progress - Feds renege on deal to give Federal Executive Institute to Charlottesville Schools

“We have a Calvinball Federal Government; cute in a comic, chaotic in real life,” Del. Katrina Callsen, D-Charlottesville, said in a statement sent to The Daily Progress, referring to a game played in the popular comic strip “Calvin & Hobbes,” a game with no fixed rules except that the rules can be changed or invented on the spot.

“I know Charlottesville Schools will handle this with grace and resiliency but it’s incredibly unfortunate to have to deal with all this turmoil from the Trump Administration,” said Callsen.

This lack of clarity has left many to draw their own conclusions about the dramatic reversal.

“My guess is that it is about cutting funding and support for public education,” said Callsen. “Regardless of the reason, this type of chaotic decision-making from the Trump administration hurts our community.”
