And all after school activities are cancelled. FWIW I live in NC where the eclipse will only be partial.
There was a full eclipse when I was a kid once. We were told about it in school and told not to look at the sun. We made boxes with holes so we could view it backwards by seeing the light reflected in the box.
What am I missing here? What are the safety reasons for closing school?
FF, MASS SHOOTERS. this eclipse is a holy day for the Saintanist. If schools are closed they have to find a church, but it's on a Monday, so it's off to the mall I guess. Seriously though . Stay away from mass gatherings. We do have 40,000 fighting aged Chinese soldiers in America. Thousands of multinational fighting age men are here, no wives, no children just fighting aged men from dozens of countries not even from South America. Just stay home and wait for the shitshow to start/end?
