Hmmmm ... cracking jokes. Some people are more concerned with the safety of terrorists than they are with well being of American elementary school kids.
December 14, 200619 yr Corrected the name for you Yasny. I hope it turns out to be nothing but a precaution.

Thus far, these aren't even big enough stories to show up on either CNN or MSNBC, and we know how those networks love to jump at any sign of kids in jeopardy. Somehow, I get the feeling this will be fairly unimportant overall.

December 14, 200619 yr Author A New Jersey elementary school is under quarantine today after a teacher received a letter with an unknown substance and had a medical reaction to it. The teacher, whose identity has not been released, was then rushed to the emergency room of Virtua Memorial Hospital in Mount Holly. Her condition was not immediately available, hospital spokeswoman Jane Yepez said. The school where the incident occurred was Garfield Park-East School in Willingboro, N.J., which houses pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. All 425 students are currently being held at the Country Club School, and parents are asked to go to that location. Emergency workers dressed in protective gear are currently investigating the scene.
