School's Out For Summer... And Fall?
I don't have any school-aged kids who I need to think about sending back to school next month. But my closest friend is an elementary school teacher in Compton. I'm worried about him, although neither the school district nor his union has said anything definitive about preparing for school. Yesterday, reporters Howard Blume, David Lauter and Nina Agrawal reported for the *L.A. Times* about the whole reopening idea.

dispelling confusion by our light drawn from the councils
Most men draw nigh to the principle of brotherly love with their lips but their heart-of-action is far from being manifest. With minds full of condemnation and seething with emotion against one another they think to approach the throne of grace. We are concerned therefore with dispelling confusion by our light drawn from the councils both Eastern and Western of the Great White Brotherhood and with giving forth those spiritual instructions that will create a clarity of vision for all. -Maitreya: *Pearls of Wisdom* 12:43
