My first reaction was this is New York, not Texas nor Alabama. Why would they be outraged?
After all, they voted for this asshole...again.
My second thought. Where is the ACLU? God forbid someone says a prayer in school yet a moment of silence for a throng of Muslim terrorists is perfectly acceptable.
Straight out of Wikipedia:
Hamas is regarded, either in whole or in part, as a terrorist organization by several countries and international organizations, most notably by Israel, the United States and the European Union.

Parents of students attending the Beacon School in New York City are outraged over the school's decision to hold a moment of silence for the victims of violence in Gaza, many of whom were members of the terrorist organization, Hamas.
On Tuesday, a day after the United States celebrated moving its embassy to Jerusalem, the public school held a school-wide moment of silence for those who were killed during violent unrest on the Gaza border.
High school junior Sophie Steinberg, a Jewish student, told the New York Post that when it started, she could see a lot of her Jewish friends become uncomfortable.
“They don’t know how to feel. They don’t know how to fit into all of this,” she explained.

Steinberg said that it's in the school's “nature” to bring up things that “no one wants to talk about,” but junior Fortune Ndombo told the New York Post that she wished there was a conversation about what was going on. However, there “was no follow-up.”
“I am extremely upset because I did not send my child to a New York City public school to pray for Hamas operatives,” one father, who is Jewish, shared with the outlet.
Another student's mother, who is also Jewish, said she doesn't ever believe a school should be “promoting a moment of silence for terrorists.” “What if it was Islamic terrorists in ISIS?” she wondered.
Morton Klein, the president of the Zionist Organization of America, said the organization is planning on sending a letter to the Beacon School demanding an apology.
He called it “disgraceful” to “mourn the death of Hamas terrorists.”
Following the deaths of 62 people, many cast blame on Israel for using excessive force against unarmed protesters, but Salah al-Bardawil, a senior Hamas official, admitted the majority of the deaths were members of the terrorist organization.
"In the last round of confrontations, if 62 people were martyred, 50 of them were Hamas,” al-Bardawil said.
