One comment about the Carpenter Avenue Elementary

I attended Carpenter Avenue in the 40's. I am dismayed at the high rate of unimmunized children in a school with high academic achievement. Obviously, the children are more educated than the parents. Must be something in Mom's latte. A governor in Nigeria banned polio vaccination causing an epidemic that is spreading in Africa. Are we becoming a third world country?
