lol Really?
How many threats to schools happen that go unnoticed by the public ?

I just read a few articles and the San Bernadino incident influenced their decision to close all schools and that even includes the charters.

That's over 1000 schools closed today and 655,000 students sent home.
That's huge with one single threat.

Imagine if this becomes the norm..instead of one school threaten the entire district ?

Lots of Americans think small.
Could just be a budding opportunist.

Do I want them to cancel school? Not likely. If this is how its handled, what is to stop someone from getting schools closed every day.

What happens when it isn't just one day? Would you be up to the challenge of homeschooling your kids indefinitely? It is ridiculous to cave to this kind of blackmail. There has NEVER been a successful terrorist act that was preceded by a warning.

‘Credible Terror Threat’ to LAUSD Prompts School Closures: Officials, Police | KTLA

Obviously, the school officials knew what they were talking about. It is credible terror threat.

Aren't people just sick and tired of all these? Now they are targeting kids, really?
Who is " they"?

There are thousands of school threats each year.

Define their definition of "credible" ?

I was in a Fed courthouse that got locked down for over 1 hour due to a bag with a gallon of milk in it.
Courthouse officials deemed that bag a "credible threat" and we were all trapped inside.

Oh, you mean like a boy named Ahmed and his "clock?"

No, the MSM will castrate the school officials should nothing happen today.
