I can't believe NYC kept the public schools open yesterday (after declaring a state of emergency for the city because of the snowstorm - we got at least 8 inches of snow yesterday, followed by freezing rain and slush). If the roads are dangerous enough to declare a state of emergency and tell people to stay home, presumably they're dangerous enough to justify cancelling school.

Judging by the Daily Bugle New York Post and Daily News's front pages, I'm not alone in this opinion. (I particularly liked whichever one had a terrible-looking candid photo of the NYC schools chancellor getting into her privately chauffeured car with the headline "Let them eat flakes!" Truly, our city newspapers continue to uphold the proud tradition of J. Jonah Jameson's style of journalism)
