Is This A Valid Reason To Protest????

There is a new coalition (Save California Summer) protesting that school should start after Labor Day Holiday. I thought they may have had a good reason until I read this:

Supporter Karen Vick, a Sacramento-area mother with two children in the San
Juan Unified School District, said it is unhealthy for her children to take
physical education classes and eat lunch outside in 100-degree August heat. The
school district’s August 18 start date also crunched vacation time for students
involved in summer swimming and other sports leagues.
The early school start dates have even affected attendance at the nearby state fair, she said. "We used to have a lot of kids participate in the science projects to show at the fair," Vick said. "A lot of families used to go but now nobody goes because school has started. Most families just say we’re in school mode and we can’t stay up late
and take the kids. It’s kind of chaotic with some schools starting in August and
some after Labor Day from neighborhood to neighborhood."

GIVE ME A BREAK. Attendance at the state fair is suffering. What a joke of a reason.
