It’s probably OK if there’s panic hardware on the doors (like a push bar across the entire width of the door, so if there is a crush of bodies against it the door opens, as opposed to a knob or thumb latch), and if the doors open outward.
Ithaca City School District Warden Judith Pastel indicated there would be a lock down of all inmates, so they could be assured of a properly sized opaycheck, since the most important part of the day is rollcall, to ensure all inmates are in their cells.
Recently at Ithaca High school OPEN HOUSE, young children of color (too young for HS students)were handing out flyers basically backing “THE RACE CARD”... the flyers were traced back to Ithaca College .. home base of the ITHACAN ... which is just like any other media. .. but then around here ... PRAVDA would probably be considered a RIGHT WING RAG!
Now that that's out of the way ... does anybody have any confidence whatsoever in the word of a mother who names her daughter Epiphany? And of course there's no mention of a father ...
Neglect? Parents have no choice but to send their child to school when mandatory attendance laws are in place. Because of such laws, refusing to send the child to school (even for their own safety) can get the parent arrested.
It's damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Some of us have to work! LOLOLOL One of my favorite movies of all time! Classic line!
Because the NEA doesn't want parents to be able to afford to choose to send their kids to safer schools.
Great post. You have it figured out.
Government schools and the First Amendment are utterly incompatible. This makes government schools human rights offenders.
**Why is locking school doors necessary?**
Locking doors is the DIVERSION, to hide the fact that such a LIBERAL, PROGRESSIVE, ENLIGHTENED city has RACE PROBLEMS.

It should properly be called ¨”ransom”.
The word “tuition” is entirely inadequate for what it takes to escape the government school prison camps and to send your child to a private school.
“I know nothinnng, NOTHINNNNG!”
John Banner, Sgt. Schultz, we miss you.
There are private/home-school alternatives to putting one’s child at risk. Mom chose to turn this into a media event instead.
The classroom doors in that school are lever door handles and they open INWARD into the classrooms.
I think it is a violation of fire code.
Ithaca and common sense do NOT belong in the same Paragraph.
In a way, this sums up what public education is all about.
Pastel said one recommendation that came from the Ithaca Police Department last week was to lock doors at the beginning of every class.
Maybe you read that statement in a different way than I do
Dont misunderstand me...I disagree with Sis. She’s been indoctrinated though.
I agree...however she meant it, it seems to be working to the good...other parents are keeping their kids out of school and may decide, why not keep their kids out permanently. At the very least the school administrators are finally paying attention, now that their stonewalling tactics didn't work and the media spotlight is on.
Parents know it doesn't pay to sue a school district--that is counterproductive. It's more effective to embarass them into doing the right thing.
Here's to hoping that more parents nationwide "strike back" by keeping their kids home when their school districts step out of line. We can certainly pray that more and more of them will wake up and rescue their children from the public school hell pit.
Can't fool me....I live in Seattle!!
