I just checked Henrico Co. public schools' website, and sure enough, they are closed (I homeschool).

It's the prudent thing to do. Kids and parents are frightened. Why provide bait for the sniper?

But if you use that logic, you shut down the whole metropolitan area. It's not like kids have been the primary target.

C'mon, how long does this go on? Once the schools are closed what does it take to move to a decision to re-open them. Short of catching the sniper what will make it any safer to go to school Tuesday than tomorrow. Or maybe they stay closed all week...how will next week be any safer? This is crazy. I know it almost sounds cliche at this point but for God's sake we can't just close up shop and stay home, that's playing right into this b*stard's hands.

The nanny state or soccer mom state has decended on America ... after all, it's about our children. Let's all run and hide ...
