James Madison High School students in Brooklyn, New York were FORCED to learn remotely as their school was used as an emergency shelter for NEARLY 2,000 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, who were relocated from a tent shelter to the high school amid winter weather conditions.
Students from TAX PAYING families in the district were SENT HOME and told to learn remotely. Frustrated parents became angry when they found out their children would have to submit a request if they wanted to learn over Zoom. Otherwise, students would be required to complete their assignments with no supervision, teaching, or guidance.
James Madison High School Principal Jodie Cohen lashed out at parents who said she “sold the kids out” by making them learn remotely to accommodate illegal immigrants.
On a Zoom call, Cohen yelled out at parents: “How dare someone say that I don’t care about kids. I don’t understand how people who never come on a Zoom like this could take an opportunity like this evening to throw mud. This [emergency] is for one night, one night!”
Other school functions, including sports practices, after-school activities, and a school dance were CANCELED to accommodate and house the influx of migrants.
Since the spring of 2022, over 162,000 illegal immigrants have entered New York’s five boroughs from the US border, with 10,000+ still coming into the city each month.
