Knicks Parade Conflicts With State Exams, but Some NYC Students Want To Attend
The New York Knicks' NBA championship parade is scheduled on the same day as science Regents exams, prompting petitions from a parent and student. The parent argues the conflict is inequitable for testing students, while the student advocates for canceling school to attend the parade. Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who previously canceled bedtime for students to watch games, faces challenges in rescheduling due to state requirements.
