Our middle school packed up 80 kids and adult/ teacher support on 2 buses and drove down 500 miles on Friday so that they could do the "Explore UT" event today.  At 5:20 yesterday afternoon, basically as they arrived to Austin; they were told the event had been cancelled, due to precautions around the coronavirus.  Of course, everyone from our school was crestfallen.

This morning someone with the State Capital reached out to them and said they would give the students a tour today.  The University of Texas added that our kids would be treated to tickets to the Okie Lite/ UT game this afternoon.  What could have been a miserable day has turned into a day the kids will likely never forget, mainly due to people being generous with their time and resources.

For all the rivalrous banter and shit we talk on here, Way to go, Bevo & Company!!!

If you’re not gonna cancel basketball/baseball/softball, why bother cancelling this explore UT event?

How rapturous that must be

Because despite the effort to introduce kids ages 3-13, to the wonders of research and higher education...invariably ExploreUT turns into kids touching the hundreds of hands-on exhibits, then picking their nose, then touching one another, then touching the hands-in exhibits again...from one building to the next.

Haven't these children suffered enough already?

If they're from Lubbock I'm sure they enjoyed what they saw...

Yes. They had a great time today versus what could have been a giant shit sandwich.
