You might not, too. The LA district shut down. The NY district, which also received a threat, did not. Why? And why the difference in response?

Why a difference in response? A few days earlier, less than 100 miles from the LA school district, 14 people were killed by ISIS-inspired terrorists who also had a garage full of pipebombs. What administrator in their right mind wouldn't be extra cautious with specific threats?
I'm aware of that, and I don't know the answer. All I'm saying is that it was not necessarily unreasonable.
