they were shooting at kids waiting for the bus, not just amongst themselves.

you’d be pissed if your kids came home with airsoft welts from this bunch.
These school administrators think their authority extends to every corner. And if people don’t fight back, they will be right.
The coverage is a bit scanty; it isn’t clear, at best, that any actual mischief was going on. If it was, that might put another angle on the story. STILL, even if it was misbehavior and not blatantly criminal (i.e. shooting maliciously at people or property) this used to be something that was left to parents to take care of. Parents. Those old fashioned fuddy duddies who knew best. Not any more I guess!
This is ridiculous.
We used to have bbs gun wars and shot at each other until we discovered better uses with our time.(girls)
And nobody “got their eye shot out”
The school doesn’t have authority over every square inch of public property the school buses go.
If anything it’s a police matter(assault) but a better solution would be the cops taking the punks to their parents house and given a stern reprimand.
Not expelled from school where if these a real punks it will seem like a vacation.
Instead of alternate school, myself and all my buddies would be sent to GITMO for all the stuff we used to do back in the day.
One of the boys is going to be home schooled. Probably the best thing to happen to him regarding his education.
My recollection is that schools do have liability, some anyways, over the safety of kids at a bus stop. Fairfax County VA routinely closes or delays classes during winter weather not because the roads aren’t clear and safe for busses, but because the kids could get hurt falling on ice covered sidewalks at the bus stop.
Not saying that such liability is a good thing, but if true then the schools are appropriate in taking this kind of action. Not their fault they’re forced into risk adversity at a stupid level because our society is so lawsuit happy ...
