Plenty of schools on American military bases! And a school across the street from the IDF headquarters.

Maybe someone should tell them that’s not a good idea? You don’t have to be too bright to see the risks of doing that.

I wonder if they have a school in Jordan near that military base. It was pretty targeted from what I’ve read.

  • They did try to evacuate. The building was hit while they were doing so:

    > Hundreds of students are believed to have been inside the building by the time teachers and administrators received the news that bombs had begun falling on Tehran around 9:40 a.m.

    > Teachers and administrators thought it prudent to send the children home. They called parents on landline phones, summoning them for an early pickup, two people told the AP. A recently released report by Airwars, a London-based independent group that tracks recent conflicts, also found that parents were called to pick up their children.

    > At 10:15 a.m., Iran’s state media sent out an advisory, closing schools across the country.

    > if you think that America would leave children in that school for longer than 10 minutes after a war was launched
