It’s very much local news, but see how parents got together and petitioned and packed meeting rooms at this Arlington Washington high school and succeeded in throwing out a pistol packing menace? “The gun had a bullet in the chamber, the safety off and an additional full magazine of bullets.” Insane public school rules make exile very difficult to achieve, but under humongous pressure school administrators got this person’s parents to agree to move him online or something.
Meanwhile, after a junior high school student brought a loaded gun to a Springfield Mo. school, one of the parents there said something rather quotable.
“A student shouldn’t be scared to go to school. Really, they shouldn’t. It’s supposed to be fun. Not death.”
We should soon expect to see this new motto on school buildings all over the US: FUN. NOT DEATH.
