@nitalibrarian Thanks. I got it though the asterisks were such a red herring!

John Kane: “…a fairly apolitical agency whose job it is to is to secure a healthy safe space for students… decided not only 20 years ago, but now, that it was time for these schools to stop exploiting one specific people for further amusement and entertainment as mascots.”

[WAMC News @WAMCNews]

Public schools in New York will no longer be able to use Native American names, mascots and imagery.

So not just Washington County. How many others?

[NCPR @ncpr]

Seven other schools in St.Lawrence County also delayed this morning due to bomb hoaxes. Story updated ⬆️

[Alex Dery Snider @ADerySnider]

I'm reminded of the many Republican lawmakers who told me and other reporters in 2019 that they felt uncomfortable expelling Byrd because he had just been elected and they didn't want to go against the will of the voters....

[Alex Dery Snider @ADerySnider]

Also: how are they going to sweep all these schools in time to open? Some (Granville) are announcing closures now. Waiting to see with the rest, I guess.

[Alex Dery Snider @ADerySnider]

Credit to the school districts who were transparent with families. That’s crisis communications 101.

[CBS 6 Albany - WRGB @CBS6Albany]

Multiple schools in Washington County are under a 2 hour delay over reports of bomb threats.

@nicolewdc We’re on the same side of TikTok. Terrifying

[Alex Dery Snider @ADerySnider]

@eric_twitts @BeschlossDC Grapes or a pastry?

[Alex Dery Snider @ADerySnider]

@mercutioad @Simplyseams1 @BeschlossDC I’m not certain the origin but my husband’s grandmother said they ate oyster—breaded and fried—very thanksgiving, sometimes without a turkey (if the hunters weren’t lucky). Oysters were a cheap source of protein back in the day.
