Even more of a link with the Yates Killings.

I would submit, that this angle reclassifies it, as well as the Yates murders, from Homeshooling, to the media blacked out anti-depressant category of assorted murders, school shootings and suicides.........

I'm totally in agreement hobbes. The national media, backed up by Big Pharma has down played this aspect in Columbine, the Yates case and others. I wouldn't be surprised if she's found not guilty by reason of insanity and walks after a few months in psych lockup.

JOE SAID: Jeanette Swanson was a certified teacher who taught in the Great Falls School system for a number of years.

I agree on the new angle, Hobbes (my husband used to use that screenname, btw). But, let's make another point here: According to CJ, this woman was also a public schoolteacher at one time. Now, wouldn't it be ridiculous for someone to claim that she committed murder because she was a public schoolteacher? That's what drives us crazy about claims that homeschooling led to murder. The media continued to harp about Yates homeschooling for months without stopping to consider the facts: For example, in the Yates case, only one or two of her children were probably old enough to attend school, anyway. (In our district, you have to turn five by Oct. 1 to qualify for Kindergarten which is only a 2-hour class). Plus, the crime occurred in the summertime when school probably wouldn't have been in session, anyway. So, in essence, they're now defining all so-called "stay-at-home moms" as homeschoolers. Might as well say that motherhood leads to murder, eh?
