The Maryland case is a companion to one from Wisconsin in which Democrats complain about a Republican-drawn map of legislative districts. That case was argued in October and remains undecided.
Justice Stephen Breyer suggested that the court could add in yet a third case involving North Carolina’s congressional districts and set another round of arguments to deal with all three states.
Pennsylvania School District Backtracks, Will Now Deploy Armed Guards Instead Of ‘Buckets Of Rocks’
Blue Mountain School District in Pennsylvania is backtracking on its superintendent’s idea to arm students against school shooters with buckets of river rocks, after internet mockery simply became too much to bear.
Blue Mountain superintendent, Dr. David Helsel, appeared before a state committee and on television last week with what he thought was a brilliant plan to handle a potential school shooter without having to resort to arming teachers, or placing armed guards at school entrances. Helsel suggested that each classroom receive a bucket of river rocks that students could throw at a shooter in an emergency.
