Most Washington, D.C. area public school systems are closed this Monday due to the early March storm bringing a significant amounts of snow, especially towards the southern and eastern suburbs through Monday morning.
The one major exception at least at this point is again the District of Columbia public school system itself which still plans to open, this time with a two hour delay.
Considering that the morning rush hour brought an additional heavy burst of windswept snowfall across the area including to D.C., the decision to open schools anyway seems insane. But then when Mayor Adrian Fenty's policy "chooses to err" for opening schools without even mentioning the word 'safety,' what can we expect?
Demonstrating one's cojones at the expense of District school children does not show "flinty Chicago toughness," only pathetic cowardice. This isn't funny anymore.
