Teachers stage fake gun attack on kids

I wasn’t aware that such a code existed in TN, and it certainly appears there is more than enough evidence to file charges against the teachers that did this. I suspect there are several lawyers working on this right now and gauging how much damage was done and how much is it worth.

At a minimum I think some teachers are going to lose their jobs.

My bad. The weapon I was thinking of was tested at less than it’s maximum possible yield for logistical reasons, but the yield tested was not over 100MT, but just over 50. 100+ MT would have been the maximum.

Do you have sons that my daughters can marry?

~SIGH~ Alas, no. I have only a daughter and she is now happily married for the past three years. I taught her to shoot when she was 10. She now has a Ruger SP101 .357 magnum for her home. My biggest challenge was to bring her new hubby up to the standards I set for her many years ago.

“I’m sure that somewhere there are teachers who do a really top-notch job, leave their politics at home and produce excellent results. All we ever hear about though, are the fools, the self-appointed political officers and the automatons with no judgment, common sense or sense of proportion.”

I’d go so far as to say most i’ve come across do a good job and care about what they do. As you say the only ones we hear about are the bad ones. A similar situation is the highways. We don’t hear about the millions of cars that take I-40 from Wilmington to Raleigh a year safely, we hear about the one or two who die.

I thought I would be safe from a nuclear attack if I put my head under the desk and covered my ears and eyes.

You would have been a lot safer from glass and 'fabric' shrapnel, no doubt about it. People always assume that they'd be in the area of the fireball with a 100% death rate - but of course the largest area affected by any explosion is around its periphery.

I was going to fight my way out of the school and head for home and die with my Mom if the air raid siren went off and Commies were going to drop the atomic bombs.

Well, the cultural Marxists have deployed the 'education bomb' against us, commencing with The Frankfurt School in the late 1930's, and progressing into the NEA. It's a slow process, but it's been working well for them.

VOUCHERS!

Scales Elementary School Assistant Principal Don Bartch, who led the trip.

Sanctioned by the administrators, if not promoted by them. I wish I were in the faculty meeting discussing THIS one, LOL!

Seriously! What sick f*cking bastards! Why is it that people in positions of authority over children often are the people least equipped to deal with them?

[Enchante]

"I am amazed that so many people think that just the idea of such training is inappropriate"

Consider the age group, for one thing..... the teachers terrorized these kids, but I doubt that any of them "learned" anything that could not have been better approached by teaching and discussion that did not involve making 10-11 year olds believe they were about to die.

“But parents of the sixth-grade students were outraged”

.......they are 11 yr. olds, but what you said still applies.

[RinaseaofDs]

Being passive is the worst approach. Even the Japanese knew invading the US was pointless. “Behind ever blade of grass will be an American with their rifle.”

We are teaching are kids to die on their knees in a world more dangerous than ever before.

What I still can’t figure out is why that moron at VT wasn’t rushed by kids and disarmed. They actually lined up so that he could shoot them.

I’d tell my lawyer, “Make sure everyone from the principal on down is unemployed, and money is no object.” The principal actually tried to spin it this AM. Couldn’t believe it.

Intentional infliction of emotional distress. Civil rights violation because it was done under color of law, so attorney fees apply.

They were told to lie on the floor or hide underneath tables and stay quiet.

So basically, the irresistible authority figure tells the 11-year-old children, "Someone may be coming to murder you in a moment, so just lie still and wait."

[CindyDawg]

Yeah. You are going to die if you don’t do something.

No one bothered to explain that we were only 12 miles from NYC—which means that in a hydrogen bomb blast, our whole town would have been incinerated.

Not really acurate. ICBM warheads are not that big. The shockwave or firestorm would have been what you got and the inner hall may very well have been plenty of protection. Yeah, they built bombs much bigger that could do that, but most of the ones actually FIELDED on both sides were not nearly that big.

[TalonDJ]

Of a 1MT hyrogen air blast, or a 20MT air blast

Look how just how big the standard bombs and warheads are/were. A little hint, "much smaller than that."

[TalonDJ]

Yeah, sure, in test there were really big bombs. And we have tested robot armor suites but that does not mean all the marines in Iraq are cyborgs. There is a large difference between test articles and standard gear. Go look up how but MIRV warheads are. Globalsecurity.org is a good place to start.

One of my principles of life has been ‘give the average person even a little power and influence, and they will likely go berserk.’

Yet another example.
