When it comes to the education of children, nothing exposed school administrators and teachers' unions more than COVID. America learned that, while there are plenty of dedicated teachers in America, administrators and union bosses like Randi Weingarten really don't care about teaching kids. They like their jobs for their fat salaries; students just get in the way.
Needless to say, whenever possible, administrators will close schools for any reason at all. After yesterday's incident in Minneapolis, when an ICE agent shot and killed a woman who was charging at him in her SUV, Minneapolis Public Schools thought this would be a great time for a four-day weekend.
🚨 BREAKING: Minneapolis Public Schools just CANCELED school for the remainder of the week, citing safety concerns.

They will not even be allowing E-learning.
Really? Are they just closing the schools, or will they be closing the 'learing centers' as well?
Here is the full statement from MPS:
Minneapolis Public Schools are closed today and tomorrow "related to [yesterday's] incidents around the city." It's like they're hoping for riots and giving teens the time off for it. Also an admission that schools are not safe places for kids when "incidents" happen in cities. pic.twitter.com/glSIUwvw4P

Did you catch that part in the second paragraph? Not even e-learning will be conducted.
Weird.
— Morgan Rhinegelt (@rhinegelt) January 8, 2026
Why is E-learning only allowable for severe weather?
Will they add two days to the end of the school year? https://t.co/rgojYAKl8m pic.twitter.com/x6WnQLQESB
Oh, they probably can't do that. Administrators and union bosses have made vacation plans, after all.
And what's with the use of the word 'collaborating' in that statement? That's VERY weird. Most people would say 'cooperating.'
It's almost like it was a Freudian slip.
It is true that in the aftermath of the shooting, there was an incident yesterday with ICE agents confronting protesters at a high school. You know what would have prevented that incident? Students, teachers, and administrators being in class, not out on the street assaulting and obstructing law enforcement officers.
Teachers aren't able to protest if they're too busy teaching students. And protesting takes precedence over learing.

And rioting takes the highest priority of all.
The teachers all have to report to their main job.

Organizing protests. https://t.co/3cOJ1fb05H
Because they want the kids to join in the chaos. https://t.co/vbuXu66uph

What good is it spending years indoctrinating children with Marxist ideology if you can't send them out on the street whenever a powderkeg is set to explode?
Oh they are gearing up to burn it down again, good luck Minnesota https://t.co/7AKPjANYyr
— Jon 🔬 (@JonnyMicro) January 8, 2026
We hope Gwen Walz has her windows open.
Tim Walz is going to allow Minneapolis to burn again, while his psycho wife sits on the porch to enjoy the smell of burning rubber. https://t.co/JhR74QTXHz
— Glenda 🇺🇸🦅 (@finn_tabulous) January 8, 2026
It's almost as if this is what they WANT to happen.
Ahem ... almost.
No remote learning? They want them in the street protesting
— decoy (@decoyposts) January 8, 2026
This is nothing less than an orchestrated effort to maximize protest numbers. And if some of the kids get hurt, all the better to take attention off Comrade Walz and his merry band of Somali pirates.
— Richard - Thought Criminal (@nowiknowmyabcs) January 8, 2026
The cancellation of remote learning seems like a dead giveaway.
Then again, this is Minnesota, after all. There are options for children even if schools are closed.
What are people going to do w their children? Do they have any daycare centers?
— CitizenLenz (@CitizenLenz) January 8, 2026
HA.
We hear there are a lot of them, but good luck enrolling any children.
How are my wife and I supposed to go to work this week? I've called 74 Minnesota daycares this morning and not one has answered the phone 😞
— Bilbo Baggins (@Jbanklestankle1) January 8, 2026
If Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, and Jacob Frey think that fomenting this incident is going to distract anyone from the rampant fraud they have fostered, they need to think again.
The only consolation is that, given the quality of MPS schools, the students aren't going to be missing out on much.
You seen Minneapolis literacy rate? Nothing is getting disrupted by closing schools there
— Danny Irishman (@dannyirishman1) January 8, 2026
Oh, they don't need to know how to read. Organizations will make their protest signs for them.
The teachers unions (allegedly) want all the students and teachers to be in the streets during this time of protest. They (allegedly) want something chaotic and or bad to happen for news stories that advance their agenda. https://t.co/YgMj8C8y2x
— G Rooster✝🐔✡ (@GuatemalanGallo) January 8, 2026
Yes, of course. 'Allegedly.'
Are the safety concerns in the room with us? https://t.co/Z0Bfs2wuGY
— Regan Carter (@Regan_Carter) January 8, 2026
If there really were 'safety concerns,' staying in school all day would be the BEST way to keep students and teachers protected. Contrary to false leftist narratives, ICE is not raiding schools in Minneapolis (possibly 'learing centers,' but not schools).
But, of course, this has nothing to do with anyone's safety. That much is transparently obvious.
They never lear... https://t.co/3LooxtaFmv
— LITizen Jeff ✝️🇺🇲👨👩👧👦🚜🥋 (@LITizenJeff) January 8, 2026
Nope. They do not.
And if Minneapolis explodes in fires and riots over the next few days, MPS will be complicit in that violence.
They are 'collaborating,' after all.
