Biden’s staffers felt justified in “picking up the slack” for the faltering president and shielding him because they viewed President Trump as an “existential threat” to democracy, he charged.

St. Croix public high schools are closed Monday due to “concerning threats” to harm students and blow up campuses, according to an urgent alert the V.I. Education Department issued around 7:30 a.m. on social media. It said the decision also comes as “a significant number” of school monitors have called in sick.
The department said the threats and messages have been circulated across multiple platforms “indicating intent to cause harm to students and to blow up school campuses,” and immediate precautionary measures are being taken to protect the safety of the students, faculty, and staff.
“In adherence to established safety protocols, the St. Croix Central High School, St. Croix Educational Complex High School, and St. Croix Career and Technical Education Center will be closed on Monday. This decision also follows notice that a significant number of school monitors at these campuses have called in sick and confirmed that they will not report to work. Their absence gravely impacts the Department’s ability to adequately monitor and manage school operations,” the alert stated.
The VIDE has requested that students, faculty and staff do not report to these campuses Monday. “This closure will allow law enforcement to continue its investigation into the threats that have been made and ensure that campuses are fully secured before resuming normal operations,” it said.
“The VIDE emphasizes that threats of any kind will never be taken lightly. Individuals should be reminded that making such threats is a serious crime and carries legal consequences. The VIDE will continue to fully support law enforcement in holding any responsible parties accountable,” it said.
The department asked for the cooperation and support of parents, guardians and the broader community as it works alongside law enforcement agencies to safeguard the schools.
“The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priority. The VIDE will not tolerate threats to our schools and stand firmly with law enforcement in pursuing anyone who seeks to disrupt learning or endanger lives. We urge our community to remain vigilant and to continue supporting our students as we work through this matter together,” the alert stated.
Further updates will be provided through official VIDE communication platforms as more information becomes available, it said.
