    From NPR...When gunfire broke out at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., in February, teacher Melody Herzfeld rushed into action. As shooting went off, she closed the door to her drama classroom, shouted instructions to students on what to do and waited for the rampage to end. "I was just literally at the door just saying, 'Come on, come on, come on, move, move, move,' " she says.
    You go, lady! You are the best.

    Yes! You take me back to the '70s & '80s when I taught drama in high school and college and nothing was impossible because we (my performers and the crews) would not let it be.Thank you for speaking your mind so eloquently!

    *The arts are important. Just look at how well rounded and compassionate Robert DeNiro turned out. An inspiration to all who want to represent the foul spiteful seething venom that Hollywood stands up and applauds at every awards show.*

      As opposed to people like yourself that lack humanity or empathy? I understand no one likes you, but instead of turning that rage against the world, use it in a positive manner and maybe someday, someone will applaud you.

      Robert DeNiro is quite compassionate. He spoke in rage against Donald Trump who is doing so much harm to American and the people of America... who is abusing the important office of President for his own corrupt gains at the cost of the nation. Why are you upset at people upset at Trump? Did your lack of arts makes you THAT uncaring of your fellow man? How disgusting.
