I’m sure that not everything the teachers did was the optimal approach, but to assume in knee-jerk reaction that such drilling is inappropriate is simply wrong and ill-thought out.

I didn't say that such drilling is inappropriate. I said that the way in which this "drill" was done was a crime, an assault committed by the teachers against the students, under Tennessee law.

If they're going to conduct such "drills" they need to take that provision of the law into account when they plan them. This is another data-point in my theory that most liberals are a bunch of highly-educated morons.

It may or may not have been conducted ineptly; really can’t tell from the biased journalism. But it is not a crime nor do I wish to criminalize such behavior as a crime. If what Mary Winkler did was manslaughter this is nothing more than a lovetap. Why be so quick to criminalize every behavior you disagree with?

How do you know these individuals are liberals? This is Tennessee. Not all teachers here are liberal Democrats.

Had coaches scare me; yell at me. Didn’t always like it. When it was done right it brought out the best in the whole team.

No kid or animal was hurt in the making of the fake gun attack. I asked my 12 year old daughter and she said once it was over she would have said “Good one, you got me.” Read the whole article.
