Unions, Teachers, Community Organizers, Race Hustlers, Income-envy...so they closed the schools for a few days and then?

MN schools close because of heat, leave parents high and dry

Parents start complaining about lack off child care/taking off work and the fact that "I really don't recall school being called off from the heat, you just dealt with it you know," Nadra said.

[Alex Murphy]

Do any of the teachers drive Jaguars?

[cripplecreek]

We didn’t have A/C when I was in school in the early 80s and our school only had 3 black students.

Quite obviously, the property taxes in Minneapolis are not high enough.

[ElkGroveDan]

With winter coming, can this really be such a bad thing?

Keeping voting for the democrats and you will keep getting what you’ve been getting.

[IbJensen]

Any state that would elect a certifiable imbecile like Al Franken for their senator deserves whatever disaster comes their way.

(This coming from another dummy who has a Democrat dummy and a RINO in the Senate.)

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Back in the ‘60s, our teachers would open windows...

[DManA]

$23,000 per student and “our kids don’t get climate controlled classrooms.” This will be intolerable come January.

I taught school in Central Texas in the early nineties when the thermometer behind my desk registered 95-100 degrees at 3:00 PM on many days in late August and the end of May. Guess we were tougher back then.

The heat referred to is over their own making... Social experiments and NEA leftism turning public schools into hell.

Let’s see. The parents and teachers could pass the hat and acquire some portable A/C units, fans, or swamp coolers on wheels, or get some window units installed.

Or, they can sit on their butts and complain, and make the weather a race issue instead.

Gee. Which will it be?

[21twelve]

“In Minneapolis, where a majority of students are children of color, our kids don’t get climate controlled classrooms.”

Maybe the Teacher’s Union should start a “dress weather-smart” campaign, and perhaps “the children of color” will take off their polyester/down parkas with the fake fur-lined hoods when they enter the classroom.

Someone should find out where all the LOTTO money is going.
Wasn’t it supposed to go to our schools?????

[bgill]

Good grief. The forcast today is 81 degrees. That is NOT hot. Bunch of whiney pansies. It’s going to be the 40-something day of three digit temps here. Back in the day, we had classroom windows that opened and no a/c. Surely, someone in the school is smart enough to open a window. If their climate controlled classroom doesn’t have windows that can be opened then take it up with the idiotic school board.

[jtal]

Good thing the pioneers had A/C or there wouldn’t be a Minnesota today!

Actually now that I think about it I remember that episode where all the A/Cs broke down in Walnut Grove and Pa Ingalls had to drive the wagon all the way to Mankato to get freon to recharge his system because Olsen was profiteering!

[buwaya]

I went to elite private schools in the Philippines (Catholic). The sort of school that in this country would be favored by the ‘1%’. No air conditioning back then, and that place was normally in the 90’s with 100% humidity all year.

[Hardraade]

The sun is racist.

[LibLieSlayer]

When I went to public schools we had things called WINDOWS and BOX FANS only. We had temps in the 100’s back then too!
