Should school in New York City be canceled on Thursday for the Knicks parade? It’s a debate that’s been raging on.
A 12-year-old student from Brooklyn started a Change.org petition asking the city to cancel school on June 18 so all students and teachers can celebrate the Knicks’ NBA championship at their Manhattan parade.
There’s one glaring issue, though: high school students have Regents exams that day.
The state Department of Education says they are not moving exams, but some parents are asking the city to move the parade to a different day.
