I was at the laundromat today, and they had Fox News on the TV. Megyn Kelly was talking about this. The kid pulled into the school parking lot, realized he’d left his skeet rifle in the vehicle, went to the office and called his mother to have her come to retrieve it. The Principal or Vice Principal overheard him, called the cops, and the rest is history. She also mentioned that two teachers have done the same thing, but they were only suspended for 3 days and not charged with any crime. It figures. The teachers belong to a union and are given preferential treatment, and a pass. The kid has the book thrown at him. Hope they sue.
I think this whole thing stinks. It should never have gone this far. The schools in this country are destroying our children. But. He violated his OWN message.
A day's suspension would have been enough. What they did was nothing short of a display of fascism.
I am glad he got this scholarship.
He actually went to the office to call home, which means he was probably following the rule about no cell phones in school. Good kid. Glad to see this happen for him, and Jerry Falwell is a good guy, too.
Parents and students in this school should confront the local district attorney and absolutely insist that he/she investigate the fact that two staff members brought guns into the school and weren’t charged. Why didn’t the school report a felony to the police? Heads should roll on this one.
There has to be some paperwork somewhere and it can be subpoenaed, and it doesn’t have anything to do with the union.
If the district attorney isn’t interested in investigating, he should drop the felony charges against this kid.
