"He says one of his friends tried to call 911 with his cell phone, but just as he reached an operator, he says a teacher closed his phone saying cell phones aren't allowed on campus."

Rules for some people are paramount. They can't seem to think for themselves anymore.

All I see in this story is a parade of idiots.

I'd like to ask you to do just one thing. Post the article that comes out in a few days or a week that contains all of the facts derived from a police investigation. This article didn't post facts. It posted hearsay from a lot of students.

We just had a student killed in a horrible auto-pedestrian accident this fall. The rumors that went around through the students were terrible and wrong. The first one was, "None of the drivers who hit her called 9-1-1." That was completely wrong. "No one stopped to help her." That was another rumor that was wrong.
I want to read the police report facts.

Obviously, the teachers were more concerned with getting their kids back to class and finishing their assigned reading - Heather Has Two Mommies. Or perhaps they'd be tardy for the geography class, where they could continue their comparison of Bush to Hitler.

Stupid is as stupid does. This teacher should be fired for being to stupid to be responsible for anyone.

that a cell phone was slapped out of a kids hand," >>

sounds like an urban legend in progress. Don't they know CPR in that school? the Heimlich maneuver is part of the course or did everyone stand around with their thumbs up you know where.
