On Tuesday, the Superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District announced that all schools would be shut down today due to an unspecified terror threat. According to ABC News, that threat also carries “unknown credibility.†Bus drivers say they have been returned to their bus depots. LAUSD is the nation’s second-largest school district, with 640,000 students and 900 schools; children range from kindergarten to 12th grade.

Me too. It’s a huge diversion for the police. Great way to get them out of the way for the real event.

Officials say threat emailed to LAUSD school board member & appeared to come from overseas http://bit.ly/1ISbkaW
I wonder what the private schools are doing.
Parent of Long Beach Catholic HS student here. All LA archdiocese schools open. All smaller public districts open also.
Not true. All they have to do is make people fearful, disrupt our lives and the economy for it to be ‘terrorism’. If any kid(s) were responsible, they too should be charged with terrorism.
No it won’t. Everyone will go Christmas shopping and the malls will be packed! Maybe.
I don’t think so. Their kids all have private tutors or private schools.

Top LAUSD Official said schools closed in part because of how detailed the electronic threat was - and how many schools were involved.

At this point, the jihadists don’t seem to care about disrupting anything, or our economy.
They just want to saw off our heads.
It won’t?
Well then, I guess hundreds of thousands of parents will be going back to locate their kids, and then turn around and take them all to work!
Not all acts of terror require a bomb or a gun.
They just said it came from over-seas location.
Unconfirmed: Email appearing to be international origin sent to school board member discussing specific details locations/backpacks in multiple schools deemed level 1 terror threat
Some only need a pen and a phone.
You would think the FBI and Homeland Security would be able to ascertain quite quickly whether or not this is a legitimate terror threat.
Seeing as how the school district loses oodles of federal dollars from sending all those kids home, it would indicate this is a real terror threat.
