NYC parents protest use of school gyms to house asylum seekers
TL;DR Summary
Some parents in Brooklyn are refusing to drop off their kids at P.S. 188 while the gym is being used to shelter asylum seekers. The gym at P.S. 188 already has 75 asylum seekers in residence, and at least six more schools are being readied to cope with the influx. While some parents were understanding, many voiced fear and outrage about what their kids could be subjected to. City officials said that using schools as shelters is a temporary solution, but no one has said for sure when the asylum seekers will leave.
