From time to time, I have been highly annoyed with the school that my daughter attends. I have set up meetings with teachers, principals, and administrators. I have brought in paperwork and pleaded my case on a variety of topics. I have made scathing remarks. Once, I even had the utter audacity to argue a point with the principal with my daughter right there in the room, which is apparently a no-no because it “undermined the authority of the principal”.
However, I haven’t yet gone on a rampage against which the police would need to come in and defend the school against me.
They must do things differently in Puyallup, Washington.

Did you catch that?
“The idea was to test the response of police and firefighters to a situation that was right out of the news headlines.”
What news headlines?
I read a lot of news every day and these “angry parents” taking over a school at gunpoint, requiring SWAT intervention, somehow completely escaped my notice!
Well, it must be true, because the police officer in charge said, “We’ve been dealing with this across the country for years.”
Where? When?
It’s very obvious what this actually is. It is desensitization training.
de·sen·si·tize
verb \dē-ˈsen(t)-sə-ˌtīz\
to make emotionally insensitive or callous; specifically: to extinguish an emotional response (as of fear, anxiety, or guilt) to stimuli that formerly induced it.
So, by this definition, they want to make it easier for normally moral people to perpetuate an attack on a group of people that would ordinarily not be their targets....

well if the *rules* state that the *note* must be submitted before pickup, then the daily schedule gets a last minute change, i guess the parent would have to have a time machine to produce the note eh ???
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
An awful lot of people had home made fans when I was a kid. They would use an extra electric motor placed on a pipe stand welded to an empty car wheel. The fan itself was a blade from a car radiator fan.
I never heard of anyone ever getting hurt with one of those. Stupid people did not survive long in those days.
Never heard of anyone accidentally getting shot with an unloaded gun either, always was on purpose with loaded gun.
Thank you.
What did I do?
Questioned? As in asked to prove identity before taking the kid? Sure.
Treated as if the school has some mysterious authority that trumps that of someone who can show themselves to be the child's parent??? Because they didn't follow some inane procedure set up by the school? I don't effing THINK so.
She wasn't "questioned"; she was told she couldn't remove her son from the school
Exactly. My reaction when I read that was “I haven’t determined yet if you MERIT any authority so it’s premature at this point to be taking steps to safeguard it.”
You posted a little truth concerning Mary and her overrated roll in liberating women.
My pleasure -- it's one of three things that I cannot stand about Catholicism: (1) deifying Mary, (2) Praying to saints/angles; (3) the tendency to elevate "Tradition" to a superior level than Scripture... {the "infallibility" of the Pope stems directly from #3, so to count that would be counting-twice.}
I believe all three of those are deadly traps of idolatry and even Jesus spoke against the last one:
Mark 7:13 -- "Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that."
Tru Dat.
Also in Revelation, when Jesus returns he finds a people practicing a form of religion but denying the Power thereof....
