So just keep the kids at home on days when you know the snow is going to pile up; problem solved. Their learning won’t be damaged by not showing up a day or two.

Yes, of COURSE. What you say is just common sense. You're not driven by a Commie agenda, that the school system is mainly for child care and not for education at all. The main reason they kept the schools open on that terrible blizzard day was to provide "hot meals to those children who might only have this hot meal that whole day." Well tuff noogies. If you, as a parent, can't manage to heat up a can of soup or otherwise provide a hot meal on a cold day, you are not fit to be a parent. Even a cat will tend to their babies and keep them warm and fed.

So all the teachers, staff, and kids had to endanger their very lives traveling under horrific conditions where I saw school buses slip-sliding away and where people waiting for buses had to stand out for over an hour for each bus. If you had to take 3 different buses to get where you had to go, that meant a 3 hour journey each way, waiting out in the cold, ice, and snow.

What is interesting to me, about this ‘kids have to have a hot meal’ attitude is that these kids live in homes, presumably, where the parents get an EBT card, which is presumably used to purchase groceries. I guess the libs assume that these folks aren’t using those cards to buy ANY food for their kids.
