Two college professors from California, Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello, just gave a new ‘unifying’ twist to the border wall that separates the US and Mexico. The duo built a \u201cTeeter-Toller Wall\u201d into the slatted border fence which includes a set of seesaws that allow children and adults from both sides of the fence to play together, while still being in their own respective countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rael and Fratello first got the idea for their international play structure back in 2009. After they succeeded in conceptualizing the idea into a book, the Teeter-Toller Wall finally came to fruition this week\u2014and \u201cwith no advance planning for participants on the Mexico side of the fence, this unifying act took place,\u201d wrote the University of California where Rael teaches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne of the most incredible experiences of my and Virginia San Fratello\u2019s career [is] bringing to life the conceptual drawings of the Teeter-Totter Wall from 2009 in an event filled with joy, excitement, and togetherness at the border wall,\u201d said Rael in an Instagram post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
