I missed the fun of the nuclear duck and cover drills, but we got a steady dose of tornado duck and covers growing up in Green Bay, WI.
Still seems odd looking back, but not as odd as worrying about protecting yourself from falling debris from nukes.

“What could they have been thinking that would justify this?”
IMO the only thing that would justify telling anyone, let alone young kids like this, that they were in imminent danger is if it were real. What they did was criminal.

dd—I agree with you. My post to Working Class Filth was a response to the memory of our atomic bomb Cold War days, when we thought life could end at any moment in a blinding flash.
As for these birdbrains in Tennessee, they should have been fired when they got off the bus when it arrived back in town.

The only training they need at schools is a few responsible adults armed and with good aim.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Chow Down Red.
I AM with you. Front Sight has offered free training to teachers who security designates for their schools, http://www.frontsight.com
And maybe each one of those kids will apply for a concealed carry permit the minute they turn 18.

Duck and cover from nuclear attack or tornadoes is one thing. Especially since everyone knew it was just a drill. (I remember being amused at the thought that covering over heads under our desks would somehow help us in the event of a Russian ICBM attack).

I’m just wondering if there were some extra “anti-gun” attitude in this drama. Some of the kids might have had parents working at Barrett.
To: TornadoAlley3
If I were a parent of one of those kids, I'd take them out and teach them to shoot. Then I'd quietly inform the school of exactly that. Let the teachers worry if the kids might be packing.
"Gosh officer, I didn't know it was a drill!"

First of all, a week of nothing but teachers and students day and night is not a good idea. For either group.
During the last night of the trip, staff members convinced the 69 students that there was a gunman on the loose.
Cruel and heartless bullies.
Principal Catherine Stephens declined to say whether the staff members involved would face disciplinary action, but said the situation "involved poor judgment."
Ya' think?!!

I thought making terroristic threats was a felony, maybe not if you are a member of the teachers union.

This wasn’t thought out but I’m not so sure it isn’t a good idea. When we had fire drills we never knew if it was real or not and were expected to act accordingly. If parents are brought in the loop and the children aren’t frightened, I could see this as a good drill. I’m not impressed with the hiding though. If a fire or bomb threat, what do you do? You get them out.
To: TornadoAlley3
What the hell is wrong with these people?
Preparedness is a good thing, but expecting 7 year olds to bear the weight of the world?
Its one thing for the staff to prepare. Its another thing to drag children kicking and screaming into the cold light of day.
Let the kids be kids for crying out loud

Now I understand why teachers will not let guns on campus!
A responsible person with a weapon could of killed the teacher with the fake gun if the teachers went that far.

If someone is going to threaten my child to the point that they honestly believe that their life is in danger then they are guilty of child abuse. I will hate them as I would hate anyone else that would threaten my child's life and act accordingly.
They screwed up and went way over the line. If I had been around as they were doing this I would have “Neutralized” the threat with great prejudice!
