The district declined to disclose the punishment the teachers received.

Detention or being suspended not sufficient. Should be expelled.

Personally, I would have dug that when I was that age. Loved to blow stuff up.

Man, people get their panties in a wad easily these days.

I remember my HS chemistry teacher saying something to me on the lines of “you’re dangerous.”

One of my favorite books was the two-volume “Military Pyrotechnics.”

Until we have actual, full-scale war, the Left’s slacktivists will continue to emote and behave like it is all one cute, dramatic, distant game that really only happens on TV, their true reality box.

Without reading the article, my initial reaction: We’ve completely lost our sense of humor today, all because of the PC police.

Maybe the article would dissuade me from that view, but I’m not going to bother.

The girl's mother was on the news saying that her daughter would never forget this...

I wonder how these snowflakes will stand up to the real adversities in their lives. I don't know how funny it really was but these types of joke awards have been going on forever. The biggest problem is that society has no sense of humor and is too p.c.

Channel 2 in Houston, who reported this is always trying to sensationalize stories like this one.
