Not mentioned in the article is the reason for the absences: continued rumors of race-related attacks between black students and white students.

As everyone at FR should know by know, Ithaca prides itself on being "the most enlightened city in America." Yet, here we are with with a school in lockdown and students afraid to attend.

Another liberal "success story" I guess.

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

Our rural school district of less than a 1000 started locking the classroom doors from the inside this year.

Are they locking the problem out, or in with them?

What’s the source of all the crime there? Why is locking school doors necessary?

Locked doors? Well, I guess if you can’t keep people out you may as well keep them in.

"...continued rumors of race-related attacks between black students and white students."

What instigated the rumors?

Amazingly ignored in the article was the point, thanks for telling us. Marxist news writers like to leave out certain things.

Fine, as long as the doors open with a push from the inside.

If not, you’ve created a disaster waiting to happen.

What was the scare about, did someone draw a stick figure with a gun?

BENDER: That's very clever sir, but what if there's a fire? I think violating fire codes and endangering the lives of children would be unwise at this juncture in your career, sir.

A friend of mine works for the Anaheim Unified School District in Orange County, California. They are doing the same thing at her school.

race-related attacks between black students and white students

Can you provide backstory on this?

nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law

14th amendment

It seems to me that in the case of a public high school to which children are compelled on pain of incarceration to attend cannot deprive the students of their "liberty" without at least doing so with "due process of law. "Surely, locking children in a room deprives them of their liberty. And surely, no due process of law has been observed.
