Schools forced to close for another week while grown men play militia in Oregon

Schoolchildren in the general area around the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon will be getting another week off from school! It’s not because the War on Christmas has been won. No, it’s the result of the extremist, white, gun-loving, constitutionally inebriated Bundy boys and their friends playing with their guns.

“Ensuring staff and student safety is our greatest concern,” Marilyn L. McBride, the superintendent of Harney County School District #3, wrote in an e-mail. Schools were originally scheduled to reopen Monday following the winter break.

I usually have between 1-2 weeks... they must have skipped the standard holiday season vacation days this year to pull this off

And the Portland area schools have also been closed-not due to the Y'all Queda.

Ice storms are pretty nasty but the scenery makes up for it. But staying home-with lots of snacks-is the best way to go.
If they shut off power it will be propane & propane accessories they be texting for.

Friggin ill prepared morons.
