Freezer Trucks so kids can go back to school?

As I understand, in Houston and Phoenix are contracting freezer trucks because the morgues are not going to be able to handle the bodies. I don't know how many of them are actually being used yet, but it's obvious there is either the expectation they will be needed or they are already needed. So my question is are these trucks making it possible for kids to go back to school? Is that what we should tell our six-year-olds?

Tell them the truth...some people believe that public schools are nothing more than subsidized baby sitting clinics and the owners want their slav...err 'employees' back on the job ASAP, preferably without any added expenses to protect those same employees.

Even in California here, so many people are incapable of empathizing with others or caring about the plight of others, or much more than themselves. I get stunned just talking to them.
