The New York Knicks' ticker-tape parade, scheduled for a school day, conflicts with science Regents exams, sparking anger among some families. Parents and students have launched petitions to reschedule the parade or cancel school, citing equity concerns. Mayor Zohran Mamdani previously secured a waiver to allow students to watch the championship games, but another waiver for the parade may be unlikely.
