‘F**k him my kid will not be remote learning he will be building a snow man and some sleigh riding.’
“I know to the disappointment of any student that’s watching this right now, Monday is either going to be a remote learning day or it’s going to be an in-person school day,” Mamdani said Friday.
Critics online responded with disapproval of the decision.

“I like this mayor but I do not like this! Give the kids a snow day!” said Cristóbal Alex of MSNBC.
“Snow days are an American pastime/tradition of happiness. So out of principle, he despises it and has to do the opposite,” read another response.
“Mamdani had an equity-focused agenda, but this is not equitable. Don’t forget too, the research has shown that students didn’t learn as much during virtual learning. This is just a wasted day that counts,” said another user.
“F**k him my kid will not be remote learning he will be building a snow man and some sleigh riding,” replied another critic.
“Mamdani is such an a**hole. No snow days?” read another.

“Either late tomorrow evening or early Sunday morning, we are going to see snow start to begin to fall across our city,” he added. “It will fall and fall and then fall some more.”
