Small government at work.
So that's why the property was cheap to build on
amazing how they end it all with "for now students are still at the school"
America cannot blame Russia for WWII radioactivity.
Lest we forget, it was America NOT Russia who last used nuclear weapons on Japan 77 years ago.
For someone concerned about hazardous materials she sure looks like she burned quite a bit of coal.
Close the school! Duh! 🥺
Lesson. Don’t trust government

This is partially why The Onion sucks these days. They couldn't top this if they tried.
She's just looking for an excuse why her kid's stupid
Either ppl making lame comments have no children or don’t care! Symptoms can end in death. Do you want de@th for these children? Aren’t there enough problems with shooting de@ths in schools?! You should be ashamed with your stupid comments!
Is this going to be like the "camp Lejeune " thing we keep seeing commercials for? Sounds to me like millions, or billions of dollars in lawsuits. Could you imagine watching your children slowly die, because the ground of the school was contaminated?
Bro thats a way to lower population growth
I knew American's were unusually tall
America is disgusting
Fat Boy and little man two names for a bombs
Democrats allowed it to go on they hate children
I see. And now that these kids are strangely drawn to magnets, and have grown antennae…
Test the Rail Ways see what you find. Start with New Mexico.
Did the kids become superheroes?
theres a lot of pencils in there so yeah.
All these kids can go to the Xavier School as mutants
Sounds like a superhero origin story
I think the people there feel that if kids are exposed to radiation a little bit at a time, when they get nuked one day, those children will survive and thrive. Yes, that is backwards thinking, but USA has shown itself to be moving backward every day.
