I think he was referring to various statements that many teachers/schools today will not be taking this solar event as an opportunity to share with the kids, but he will have to clarify.

On Monday, April 8th 2024, a total solar eclipse will occur, visible in totality only within a band across the Eastern United States, starting in Texas and working its way through the middle of the country. The eclipse will peak over Atlanta around 3:05 pm and, depending on the area in metro Atlanta, the moon will block 82 - 84 percent of the sun, according to NASA data.
Our science department has planned special programming, utilizing a variety of instructional resources, to take advantage of this educational opportunity for students in K through 8th grade. In addition to classroom activities in the morning, we will be providing special solar eclipse viewing glasses for all students, …. and we will be taking them outdoors for about 20 minutes to view the event, weather permitting. All of our staff will be on hand during the outdoor viewing to provide supervision and guidance for the children.

my wife came around to not being worried about an apocalypse and found me a privately owned primitive camping area to reserve, right in the path of peak totality in rural southeastern Oklahoma. Crossing my fingers for good weather...otherwise it'll just be a good camping trip. My third grader will miss school Monday and come along.
He won't be missing school, he'll be getting a real education!!!
It went right over my home town last time. We drove down to watch it and the place was packed with 10s of thousands of extra people.
Then it got cloudy, so we got out the weather app and drove to a spot 20 miles south that looked like it would clear off in time to watch it. And it did.
Watched it on a dirt road drinking beer with silly glasses on. It felt like I was back in high school.
Then we drove home avoiding the packed highway and interstate taking the back roads I learned going to parties drinking beer in high school.
If you plan to drive to see it, be prepared to drive to avoid weather too. Otherwise, it's just another cloudy day.

OK, It does look like I will be heading about 2 hours west of here to see the whole 100%.
I do have some glasses but they seem like they belong on an elementary school student but I found THE FIX and everyone should join in.
FWIW, that isn't me and I'm thinking about drawing the moon to cover my bright sunny dispostion, or at least make people think that I have a bright sunny dispostion under there.

We lived in Salem, Oregon in 2017 for the last eclipse. Salem was 99.9% totality.
They were warning of mass chaos back then as well. Nothing happened whatsoever and everything was just fine.
It’s all just done to stir up fear and panic. That’s what the powers that be do best.
Now if you want to discuss the biblical implications, that’s another story on which I shall refrain from dragging into this thread.

I went to get what little bit of hair that I have left cut a few days ago. The guy in the chair getting his hair cut is just sitting there so I'm thinking good I'll get the same treatment. Nope
I sit down she starts in about the eclipse and how she told her daughter to pray. She then tells me about the X, and that is why Musk renamed twitter. She puts some wacko religious website on her phone.
I'm looking for a camera because maybe they are remaking candid camera, or somehow APP is behind this.
I want to get out of dodge but she has a long ass pair of scissors in her hand. So I just go along with her ranting. I'm thinking why/how did I walk into a Revival?
I won't need my hair cut again for six months but I know where I'm not going.

There are something like 4 or 5 solar eclipses somewhere on Earth every year. Why does the world not end 4 or 5 times every year?
Because most of the people that think they can predict the apocalypse live in the US and hold a very US-centric mindset.
and apparently they stayed home from church the day they were supposed to read Matthew 24.
Pretty much every time I hear somebody tell me when the rapture is gonna happen I think "well, I can mark that one on my calendar as "NOT the rapture".
