TV weatherman Al Roker is largely standing by his public shellacking of New York City’s mayor for keeping public schools open during a snowstorm. But he is apologizing for his tweet forecasting “one term” for Bill de Blasio.
Roker said Friday on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that his tweet a day earlier was “below the line.”
Roker said he understands that some kids depend on school meals, and that working parents have trouble arranging backup child care. But he says other cities face the same issues and still close their schools.
He said it’s also a challenge for a working parent to scramble to get children to a school that stays open and then may have to close early.
De Blasio said Thursday that closing the schools was the right decision.

the article probably meant opening schools
additionally, roker is right, the government says stay off the roads unless extremely necessary, yet the kids HAVE to go to school
