... According to a report in EAG News, a chief recommendation coming out of the state panel that was “charged” with “making recommendations to reduce the risk of future tragedies” has concluded that more oversight of homeschoolers will accomplish that goal.
The report’s “chief recommendation” is “tighter scrutiny of homeschoolers … to prevent an incident such as the December 2012 slaughter of 20 first-graders and six adults at Sandy Elementary School in Newtown,” EAG said. ...

They should blame the type of car he was driving, and the T.V. show he watched the night before.
On another note, maybe we should ban public schools since the other mass shooters came from them.
A recommendation is given macroscopically to the sane, because of the actions of a INSANE man, protected by a mother who was in complete denial.
Thats classic liberalism for you....
Gee, since the commission didn’t want any backlash, they blamed the smallest minority (home schoolers) they could find. And the implied solution, do away with home schooling so that all of our children can grow up to be mindless controlled robots. What a waste of taxpayer money!
He was a 20 year old MAN. He wasn’t the school’s responsibility. Everyone knew that this person had mental health issues for years. He was under psychiatric care when he did this.
There is *nothing* that the school could’ve done from that standpoint. Just like they can’t do anything about a 40 year old terrorist deciding to shoot up kids. Or, the very real situation in China, where an adult decided to stab a bunch of kids.
What they could’ve done is had better security.
I just hate the ‘do something!’ crowd. Of course they never want to actually DO anything that will make a difference.
So where’s the full report we were promised, or are they still writing the screen play
Any facts here, at all??
Any pictures, ‘blood spatter’—cartridge cases, crime scene photos-—ANYTHING??
An explanation of bullet holes in the green car? Outside?
Anything (other than Holder’s word) that there was murder?
You know, evidence.
Just asking.
That is a silly conclusion.
While we’re playing the blame game, why not call out the pill pushers? Oh that’s right, they line too many Capitol Hill pockets.
“At least they are backing away from blaming the guns.....”
Liberals are also backing away from:
Mental instability...Kid was nuts. Remember that look in his eyes. Kid was dysfunctional and would have made a good liberal if he had survived.
Parental supervision...Kid’s mother was kinda nutty too. Unqualified to supervise and unable to monitor her nutty kid. Kid’s father was absent most of time. No father figure. Liberals don’t advocate family role models and rearing a child does not require both parents to participate. Parents didn’t seem to be conservatives, so media couldn’t blame them.
Hollywood...Violent video games and movies. Too much emphasis on misuse of guns, mayhem, and senseless killing portrayed in abstract situations. Kid couldn’t differentiate actually killing real kids and killing video fantasy characters. He was acting out his fantasy.
I could go on...anything but the real causes...liberal moral values. Liberals do not want anyone to question their screwed-up and contradictory moral values. When applied in the real world, the unintended results are Sandy Hook.
“What they could’ve done is had better security.”
Yes, how did he get in the school anyway? Did he just walk in?
See sandyhookjustice.com.
There’s a hell of a lot that’s not being reported and never will be ny the MSM.
But other investigators are getting to what really happened.
A little worry niggling away in the back of my mind...
Beslan - (that school in Russia taken over by Muslims, where many children were killed).
The muslims could easily try something like that here, considering the wide-spread knowledge that our schools are “gun-free” zones. Of course we are all sure nothing like that could happen “here”, just as we are sure that beheadings could only happen “over there”.
Please let me be totally wrong.
They'll blame homeschooling if he was homeschooled, but they'd go ballistic if it was a public school student and you blamed the school system.
Yup. Belsan scared the snot out of me. I trained my kids well. (Homeschooled them until high school.)
When the Ft. Hood shootings happened, the media was a mess of false reporting. They said that there were shooters in housing and heading to the school. All the local schools locked down.
I texted my daughter and told her the situation. She was to collect her brother and meet me at our agreed-upon location. She was a pro. She asked to go to the bathroom, then slipped down the hall to her brother’s class. She told the teacher that he was wanted in the office. Then they bolted. They already had a route planned out that would give them the best cover. It took me an hour to get through traffic and get to them.
They were calm and handled the situation with practiced precision.
A year earlier, there was a flood that turned the town where their school was located into an island for a day. Desperate parents coordinated, trying to get to our children. It was a mess.
And I’m so proud of how my kids managed it all. My daughter knew that a relative of a friend would be available safe house for her diabetic brother. My daughter stole his insulin from the nurse’s office, yanked my son out of the (horrible, disorganized)school situation, got her brother to safety, and managed to contact me. They were safe and happy when I did manage to get to them.
The flood was worse than the terrorist threat, in reality. The school nurse had left for the day when the waters overtook the place and all of the student’s medication was locked up. Not good for the diabetics. My daughter pulled a freaking Mission Impossible to get her brother’s meds and relocated him to a place with common sense.
Kids are not stupid. They will respond to common-sense training and are capable of reacting to a situation with shocking aplomb.
There was another situation in Texas where they had a single-shooter drill. None of the students were in on it. When it happened, the teacher tried to direct the students to hide under their desks while she locked the door, turned out the lights, and covered the little window.
The boys went into high-gear. They directed the girls out the windows. When the teacher had a fit and told them to stay, one of the boys said, “you can stay if you want,” then they hit the woods as a group. Again, thoughtful students already had a route mapped out.
Beslan only happened because the students sheltered in place, giving the terrorists time to fortify their positions. Had the kids fled in those first few minutes, many lives would’ve been saved. You don’t stay in a burning building after the fire alarm goes off.
Give the kids some credit. Train them and have them go over the scenarios in their minds. Bring up the impossible and remind them of the small stuff. Teach them about guns so they understand how to keep their bodies out of gunfire.
It is old news, quit asking unanswered questions. You MUST accept the “official” story, all 3, 4 or 5 versions of it.
