Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

I wanted a better source to verify it. Here's it directly from the source.

I am terribly sad that they had to do this, but I'm also glad that they did. I can guarantee you there are children who did/would learn about what happened yesterday and are probably beyond terrified of not coming home to a parent. And there are probably parents terrified of letting their children walk to school.
The best time to resist the regime was about a year ago. The second best time to resist the regime is now.
Beyond being terrified, it's probably just the right thing to do from a strategic standpoint here. ICE has tried barging into schools and holding kids hostage as a way of getting at their parents before, so they probably should just transition to remote learning like it's 2020 again until ICE fucks off.
e; and I say that knowing full well how much remote learning sucks for a lot of students and knowing what 2020 did to all the education statistics, but I don't see a better way to keep people safe

Bro, not even just holding them hostage, but literally taking away and deporting actual children. These people are monsters.
All schools in an area under assault from ICE should go remote. That's a great idea.
Yes, remote is not perfect, but the alternative is much worse.
I applaud your middle ground, but appeasement is how WWII happened.
Moving noncombatants to a more defensible location is not appeasement
