She looks just like the young teacher that the 14 yr old brutally killed in the bathroom.

While other students rushed to help put out the flames,
the suspect reportedly tossed the lighter out the window.
School resource officers responded around 10:45 a.m
at which point the suspect fled,
but was quickly caught after a brief chase on foot.

The suspect admitted to the assault during a subsequent police interview.
He was charged with aggravated assault and evading arrest,
and then taken to a juvenile detention facility.
The fire was put out before the teacher received burns to her skin.

Maybe its time to return to teaching values, ethics, respect and stuff in schools?

I assume this will go on his permanent school record? Maybe he will even be sent to alternative school?

The suspect’s iPhone contained music from The Doors. And Jose Feliciano.

It's time to do what the Founders required in the Northwest Ordinance -- encouraging religion (Christianity) and morality in public schools.

West High School is only 67% white. A young white woman that pretty should work elsewhere.

And don’t tell me: The school is now facing a $40 billion dollar lawsuit for putting the “childs” life at risk.

Yeah, but WHOSE values and ethics?
Wouldn’t teaching one set of values and ethics demean any values and ethics to the contrary?
That’s not respectful of cultural minorities!
That’s as racist as a peanut butter sandwich!
