A middle school principal in eastern Alabama wants to stockpile cans of food such as corn and peas in classrooms so that students could hurl them as weapons in a last-resort confrontation with a school intruder.
In a letter Friday, W.F. Burns Middle School Principal Priscella Holley asked parents to have each student bring an 8-ounce canned item.
"We realize at first this may seem odd; however, it is a practice that would catch an intruder off guard," she wrote in the letter, published by TV station WHNT in Huntsville.
"The canned food item could stun the intruder or even knock him out until the police arrive," Holley wrote. "The canned food item will give the students a sense of empowerment to protect themselves and will make them feel secure in case an intruder enters their classroom."
The school is in Valley, Alabama, part of the Chambers County school system.
The letter was sent after school employees received training from Auburn University's Department of Public Safety, Chambers County Schools Superintendent Kelli Hodge told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday.

Post of the day.

1) Visualize whirled peas.
2) Give peas a chance.
3) Have a pea shooter.
They fear the drum beets of war.
Armed psychopaths vs. canned food. Oh yeah, THAT ought to work! /s Wasn’t this covered in Monty Python? Of course, today’s meatheads would probably reply “Who?” (No, not The Who; Monty Python!;) Seriously, what galaxy or universe do these creatures inhabit??????
If you could get those cans moving at 1,000 feet per second, you’d be onto something ;)

I stand corrected. Thank you : )
Sock them in the eye!
Bump
Well I don’t think more than one can should be allowed. School is no place for privilege. ROTFLMAO
