Do schools still arrange trips to Washington D.C?

Maybe it would be a good time for many many schools to plan a trip to visit Congress. They could call it "School in a Gun Free Zone". If many could arrive at the same time and crowd the place that would be best.

Guns are not allowed in the halls of Congress, and our Congress critters have taxpayer funded health care.

What does that tell you?

They're 19 and 22 now, so have been out of HS for 1+ and 4+ years. I think they went early high school or late jr. high.
