And they have a gun problem?
Why is there such a lack of common sense among those who run our schools?
I suggest everyone in Montana, get out as fast as possible.
she should let the idiots kick her out....the school loses a great student.....hopefully there is a private HS she can finish up in or start college early....
Lack of common sense is the only subject taught in government schools.
This young woman has learned the only lesson that public school can teach her, that she should have been home-schooled or privately schooled.

>>DeRue remembered her unloaded hunting rifle in the trunk of her car and promptly informed school officials. <<
There is the problem. She trusted them. They keep proving to be the enemy. It is amazing how people just don’t get it. You NEVER cooperate with the cops beyond what you are required.
If they come to your door, even if you KNOW you are innocent of anything, and politely ask to look around, ALWAYS require a search warrant. Politely, of course.
People do not grasp that the job of the cops is LITERALLY to gain any evidence against you, whoever you are. Their job is to root out and prosecute crime. If this girl had not said anything and the dog found the gun, her position would be no worse than it is now, and she fell for the ol’ “just cooperate and everything will be ok here. Shucks, we’re all just regular folks here” line the police give.
The police are not bad people. They are just the front line to a bad system. It is not personal to them, no matter how they make it sound that way. Don’t let it be personal to you. They mean business. That is why they wear guns.
Sheesh!
Montana has been overrun with pussies and idiots. Where did these fools migrate from originally? Surely these decisions are not from the stock that settled the cattle areas of Montana?
Zero Tolerance is just code for Gun Control Nazis.
Well, that expulsion will certainly deter the next Columbine from happening...
What’s the point? Either it’s an honest mistake and that’s the end of it—or she intended to kill fellow students. If it’s the latter, what does the threat of expulsion prevent?
I despise all these unwarranted (in all meanings of the word) searches being conducted against Americans at school and work.
We used to have gun racks with rifles in them in our HS parking lot and nobody ever got shot or even threatened. I had a beautiful Old Timer knife with a nearly 4-inch locking blade that I wore in a leather case on my belt every day to school. Teachers would even borrow it sometimes.
We have failed to raise several generations correctly.
Just take a look at who's running the schools...
More liberal insanity!
The words ‘Zero Tolerance’ tells you exactly who these people are. No more expanation is needed.
This is the punishment of the innocent on the alter of "Political Correctness". Shades of Kafka in the inexorable punishment of the guiltless by the workings of the bureaucracy.
Its time for parents to have zero tolerance for this PC bullshit.
They are our children your salaries are paid by us you school buildings are built with our money. You work for us.
Stop this nonsense or we will take steps to git rid of you.
