The group morphed into a conversation about the importance of partnerships, rather than strictly vendor/client relationships - be invested.

New York decided to keep school open unless there was more concrete proof of an imminent threat, while LA decided to be more cautious and close over 900 schools across the county. There has been criticism on both sides, so which district handled the situation appropriately?

The fact that he has announced he wants to ban all Muslims from entering the country has sparked quite an uproar. Many claim he is no better than Hitler.
