There's been 2 college students literally freeze to death and 18 people have frozen to death in the last week. It's not about being soft, it's about common sense. Just because people were too stupid to realize things hurt them in the past doesn't mean we should keep doing it.

We live in one of the poorest states in the country. There are many students that can't afford warm clothing and have to walk to school, or their bus for extended periods of time. Not sure why it gets people worked up that students stay home a day or two because of record extremes.

Maybe because schools in EKy have lowest test scores in the nation.
Also nowhere near record extremes. Plus lots of schools were off with temps in 30s and 40s. Plus no one has ever froze to death on a school bus in history of EKy.
