New York School Shuts Down to House Thousands of Illegal Immigrants, Remote Education for Students

Via: New York Post:
Brooklyn high school students were forced to learn remotely Wednesday as nearly 2,000 migrants using their gym as a storm shelter were bused back to a nearby tent city.
Concerns that torrential rains and powerful winds would collapse a massive migrant tent at Floyd Bennett Field led to the move Tuesday night — though migrants had already been cleared out of James Madison High School at 4:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Despite their early departure, which a source described to The Post as “madness,” the school remained remote on Wednesday at the principal’s request, City Hall said.
If I had a huge, potentially volatile group in my neighborhood, I’d much rather keep them all together in one bldg than allow them to disperse, especially during a storm, even if it inconvenienced my kids for a few days… the lesser of two evils. If their bunk and possessions got washed out of a tent, where would they go for replacements or even for their next meal? I imagine that the school remained closed the next day to clean up after 2,000 people spent the night there.
