The school where my wife teaches got a bomb threat today. Looks like they are far from the only one.

I haven't seen any major national stories yet, but from all the local stories I am finding, it appears that there may have been bomb threats robocalled to schools across the nation today.

Local stories:

UPDATE: Bomb threat at Linn-Mar possibly part of threats nationwide

Schools nationwide could be victim of bomb threat robocall

String of bomb threats received at multiple New Hampshire schools

Six Delaware schools hit with bomb threats

Appears that it happened in Britain as well: Bomb threats close 26 schools across Britain on GCSE exam day

4. End of the school year; kids are antsy, and some don't want to take their finals.

5. Maybe, but

if the robocalls all had one single point of origin, I think the culprit is more likely a 4channer or someone with a similar mentality, just doing it for the "lulz."

6. I remember a spate of those involving my school. In 1959. No minds lost.
