Students at Center Grove High School are apologizing after dozens posed for a group picture to mock the coronavirus last week, without masks and in defiance of Indiana’s stay-at-home order. Jackson Gardner, student yearbook editor, denounced the stunt in an editorial for Center Grove’s student newspaper the Trojaneer, which published a picture circulating online.
“On May 13 at 6:30 p.m., countless seniors gathered against healthcare recommendations at the SCSA fields to celebrate senior week,” Gardner wrote. “This group of people, against the wishes of the school, state, and healthcare professionals across the country, met without masks and practiced zero social distancing guidelines.

Most people are going to soon get tired of apologizing for having any kind of fun or casual interaction.
It’s becoming like a new Victorian Era.
I don’t think it will last in the present intensity.
“Gardner pointed out “it is illegal” for groups of 25 to meet before May 24, according to Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb’s “Back on Track Indiana” plan, and admonished his classmates for potentially spreading the disease through the community.”
I don’t think it’s technically illegal. Was there a bill passed?
I’m happy for the kids.....
I’m willing to bet Jackson Gardner is a product of fine conservative parents. </sarc>
I believe the name is Jackson “Karen” Gardner.
Nope, a governor doesn’t have the power to pass laws.
OK, so 25 on one side of the photo and 25 on the other side. The ones in the middle were distancing from the ones on either end by more than 6 feet. Seriously the rule makes no sense because it doesn’t take into account the number of people you interact with in a day, which is far more important. You could easily expose yourself to a hundred people in the course of a day, yet never be in a group of more than 2 people at any one time. Or you could be in a large group of 200 people, but only come with 6 feet of maybe a half dozen of them.
I believe the name is Jackson “Karen” Gardner.
Jackson “Chad” Gardner. :)
As a graduate of Indiana schools I am ashamed of the little whiner.
It’s not a re-creation of the Victorian era.....more like Mao’s Cultural Revolution or the Ayatollah’s Iran.
Yes.
Jackson needs to change his name.
To Karen.

And to speak to a manager.
Center Grove students have always had a rebellious attitude.
I know a few who attended.
