McKenna and Birch Lane Closed Thursday

Massapequa District closes second school.

Posted by Edward Robinson (Editor), November 8, 2012 at 11:06 am

Massapequa School officials have announced that two elementary schools will be closed on Thursday.

Birch Lane Elementary School, which is the only school in the district that has remained closed everyday since the district re-opened Tuesday will once again be closed Thursday.

But now McKenna Elementary School will also be closed, the district said, saying that the closings are due to "energy issues associated with [Wednesday's] storm."

McKenna had been open since Tuesday.

No, it has nothing to do with how hard you work. It's just that the elite one percenters are treated…Read More differently when they run afoul of the laws in this country. No one has been jailed for the corporate malfeasance that resulted in the financial crash of '08, in spite of the rules that were ignored or broken. Too big to fail is the order of the day. Meanwhile, petty frauds committed by poor and middle class are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Two Americas. The rule of law, unevenly applied, whether by race, or class, or economic station will result in the unraveling of society. We may well be seeing the beginnings of that now, as we've entered a new gilded age, where new robber barons are allowed to run roughshod over the lower classes. The very ideals of America are at stake, and we are letting them slide away.
