A bomb threat closed all schools in a Wisconsin school district Monday, days after three middle schoolers found themselves under investigation for refusing to address their non-binary classmate by their preferred pronouns.
Kiel Middle School received the threat during school hours, at roughly 12:45 pm, shortly after police announced they were working to investigate 'threatening communications' toward district staff regarding the sexual harassment probe.
The students, all aged 13 and all enrolled at Kiel Middle, were all hit with a formal complaint earlier this month, for referring to the unnamed student as 'she' or 'her,' rather than 'they' or 'them.'
One of the children, Braden Rabidoux, spoke out about the investigation in an interview with Fox News last week, airing fears that he may not get into college because of the sexual harassment charges leveled against him.
He along with his two classmates - whom have not been named - argue that the First Amendment allows them to refer to their nonbinary classmate with whatever pronouns they wish.
The incident has since gained traction and has garnered national news coverage, thrusting the small Kiel Area School District - comprised of Kiel Middle, Kiel High, Zielanis Elementary and approximately 1,500 students - into the spotlight.
Directly before Monday's threat, which saw all three schools evacuated, City of Kiel Police Chief Dave Funkhouser revealed the district had been receiving a stream of 'extremely vulgar, hateful, and disturbing' threats since the case went public.
Funkhouser's announcement included the revelation that extra patrols would be deployed around the three school's buildings as a precautionary measure due to the concerning communications.

The offended student probably made the threat.
The caller probably had blue hair
The principal is lucky no one visited his house for making the charge.
Insurrection!
12:45 pm….. mmmmmm……. Isn’t that teachers’ lunch time? Just asking for a friend…..
All schools that peddle this crap should be closed down permanently.
If it turns out this was a hoax on the part of the offended, we won’t hear any more on this.
I have no sympathy for the liberals attacking children with lawsuits over woke crap. None.

I think he doesn’t want to go to college otherwise he’d play their game. Might do him a bit of good as the reaction is over the top. Good for the cause.
The cops are chumps who enjoy being used.
This woke crap is gonna backfire.... bigly.
Hoax.

The Onion HAS to be out of business or close to it.
American schools are teaching students to lie. This doesn’t happen in the civilized world (non-US/EU).
Not far enough.
We need to end all public funded education. Period.
The only thing that will stop this woke idiocy is starving the people behind it.
The ones that dont peddle it will find teaching jobs in the marketplace.
Poor kids. What a mess!
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
They/them are plural pronouns.
Singular for someone who does not want to use he/she, would be “it”.
They enjoy getting paid.
