All I can say is just “wow”.

unbelievable.
Like the parents aren’t at fault?
Seems to me that they could have said, “No.”
How the F#$% is it the parents fault! Do they not have any say in the matter...the dumbsh!t’s probably encouarged the poor kid to be `himself’!
Saul Alinsky tactics.
But it's the school's fault and not the parents.
Right....
Parents blame school because they didn’t raise their children.
Lets say that the school aided and abetted this childs delusions and even helped him gain independcne from his family and live in a shelter. Relying on social workers to parent the kid. And they wonder why the child acted out his fanasies and why others reacted strongly?
I hope his shooter’s parents sue the school for not protecting him from sexual abuse.
Was he wearing the clothes and makeup when he left home?
~~~King was a ward of the court and living at a shelter for abused, neglected and emotionally troubled children at the time of the shooting.~~~
Apparently the parents opted out of there responsibilty sometime ago...now it the states fault! Way to go Hillary...you and your it takes a village to raise a kid bs!
They should just make a case against George Bush, if they are going to blame someone ELSE and pass the buck. Bush wants male/female marriage, after all, which must have made this girly/boy feel bad. And then Bush does NOT wear make-up, and that could have made this girly/boy feel bad too.
Plus, Bush has more money than any school district, so if they are going for deep pockets, that’s where they should look.
Disgusting. Who bought the girl clothes? Who bought the make-up? Who’s on first?
That’s exactly what the Mom did, encouraged the little pervert. And he was stalking the boy who eventually shot him, hitting on him and making comments suggesting that the other boy was gay, and threatening to tell the school that they two of them were having sex. The kid eventually snapped and killed him.
How the F#$% is it the parents fault! Do they not have any say in the matter...the dumbsh!t’s probably encouarged the poor kid to be `himself’!
They didnt have control over the kid. He was in a shelter and controled by social workers. Happens all the time.
So who shot this kid anyway? Possibly a gang member punk?
So the PARENTS file a lawsuit against the school for not enforcing the dress code? If they couldn’t enforce it wonder why they think the school could?
