fricking ridiculous. Schools in Ouachita Parish closed, as did the Courthouse, because of the "threat" of bad weather. And then it sprinkled for like 30 minutes and the sun came out. WTF? When I was a kid, school didn't stop for shite. If there was a tornado, you balled up in the hall. Now they have "flex days" once a week where kids don't go to school. Have yet to figure that one out. What the frick is going on around here????

Lawyers and insurance companies are a plague on this country.

no one wants to be liable or responsible for your kids if there’s an emergency situation.

If there's the possibility for tornadoes they don't want buses running. Not much to it really.

Would you rather your kid to school online for a day or send the court house and email or your kid die in a tornado or a bus rollover accident?

When school administrators started being scared of social media.

Up here they have snow days to burn with at home learning during the crux of winter. In fact snow days are pretty much a thing of the past due to all the experience with at home learning.

Sorry kids you got robbed. Never wanting to get up on time on a school day, possibility of snow you are up at 4 am checking the reports.

If one school didn't close, and others did, and a kid got struck by lightning, an attorney could use the other schools' closure as evidence that the lightning strike school was negligent in remaining open.

Thanks Gordon.

Politicians are who you are after. Legislatures make the ridiculous laws and judges use their politics as a weapon on the seat.

It's disgusting, especially the judges.

There is a plague of meteorologists who love to overhype severe/winter weather.

One meteorologist in Birmingham today was hyping up tennis ball sized hail. Why wouldn’t you shut down if the weatherman on TV was saying there’s a good chance that could happen.

Not sure but the kids being killed in schools during tornadoes in Enterprise, AL and Moore, OK probably helped further the charge.
