HARRISBURG, PA — All Pennsylvania schools will remain closed for the rest of the academic year due to the coronavirus pandemic, Gov. Tom Wolf announced Thursday.

The governor said he made the decision in consultation with Secretary of Health Rachel Levine and Secretary of Education Pedro Rivera.

Schools had been closed since March 13 due to the outbreak, which has killed more than 300 Pennsylvania residents.

Governor Wolf must have run out of things to close, so he's turned his attention to extending the duration of closure.

Here’s a puzzler:

Why did he give his company an exemption to continue to crank out kitchen cabinets when he has shut-down all home remodeling businesses that might install them?

If it’s like Indiana, no.
Because the teachers do e-learning, the cafeteria workers and bus drivers prepare and deliver grub to starving youts.

Commie scum bag. What are parents going to do when they go back to work? Oh wait. Wolf will close all jobs until Jan 2021. So sick of these people.

I think some of these governor’s are going to face massive pressure by voters to open things back up regardless of what they are saying now, but I find these declarations to be odd, very pessimistic, and bad politics.

I guess we will find out. Inslee in Washington did the same thing.

All of a sudden a song appears in my head that I haven’t heard in 263+ years...

“Cruel Summer” by Bananarama.

Even by my standards that’s overkill. How about planning to open in the fall, rather than January?

It appears he had to close them down (March 27, 2020) 8>):

Businesses tied to Gov. Tom Wolf, a top Pa. senator close after questions about how they qualified as ‘life-sustaining’ during coronavirus pandemic

It’s a deceptive headline. If you read the story, it says “school year.”

So.. is school OUT completely, or are parents teaching their kids on-line and at-home? Someone brought up a great point the other day - that one small speck of silver lining in all of this is that parents can now SEE the propaganda garbage the leftist “teachers” are feeding our kids, and their eyes are opening. If that’s the case, I can see why the leftist politicians / “teachers” / unions would want to shut down education ENTIRELY rather than interrupt their brainwashing sessions.
