YLE, Texas – Emotions are on a hair trigger in schools these days.

So much so, just hearing the word “gum” can cause a school-wide freak-out, as evidenced by an episode Wednesday.

A student at Lehman High School student reportedly asked for some chewing gum, but another student thought the student said “gun,” KCEN reports.

No gun was found and Hays County, Texas school district spokesman Tim Savoy insists the school was never in “lock down,” though school administrators did “hold students in their extended class periods to investigate the concern with little to no disruption to their schedule.”

Well I hope you brought enough guns to share with the entire class.

[Boomer]

What ya got in your pocket?

Oh that. Just a little gin.

[SaraJohnson]

When this happens in Texas, you know liberals have driven the whole nation around the bend. Good grief!

Jesus H. Christ on a pogo stick! I would expect this in NJ, not in TX...

Have any students been invited to the White House yet?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Just imagine if he'd said "I have 45 pieces of gum!"

“Spear-mint.... could maim a guy”

I once knew a guy who claimed to be a “Juicy Fruit”

I tried to avoid him at work

Gum control is clearly needed

Yes it is.

This thread is priceless.

Greatest Wits on the internet, right here on good old FR!

Get the kids out of these liberal indoctrination centers and padlock the doors.

Problem solved.

When DoubleMint is outlawed, only outlaws will have DoubleMint.

DoubleMint gum should indeed be outlawed. Nobody needs a doublemint, a singlemint should be enough for anybody.

Not really, there are about 60 half wits, which equals about 30 wits. I count myself in that number by the way.

Imagine the fear if he had said the word “Jesus”, or “God”-

[oldvirginian]

Well I guess that would put me at around a quarter wit.
Some might say a nit wit.

I have noticed then that the average FR half wit beats a liberal genius without breaking a sweat.

[Jack Hammer]

America is very near the end.

[Rodamala]

Well, I hope the student brought enough for everyone.

Oh, "gum". My bad.

[MeshugeMikey]

Rumor has it that his baclpack was full of gun....er GUM.

[MeshugeMikey]

ether very near the end...or about to go around a very crucial corner
