#1 I'm really surprised these people can walk around in public without getting the vapors.

#2 "No discipline is expected to be taken against the student in question or staffer"
WOW, what an emergency plan they've got. They've evidently planned to go wacko about the wrong thing at random, it's part of the plan.
It reminds me of what was described as the Houston PD's top brass emergency management plan:
"When in danger, when in doubt,
run in circles, scream and shout."

#3 My goodness this caused a flashback.

Shortly after Columbine my son caused a similar incident in 7th grade. He always wore a green coat which his aunt bought for him in an Army Navy Marine Surplus store (in P'town).

Friends of his asked if he was carrying a machine gun so he opened the coat to show that he wasn't and a teacher who was standing there had a conniption fit. My wife was called to school etc. etc. The ass't. principal got well and truly reamed by my wife for being a jerk 8^). My son is 28 now, married, and hasn't killed anyone yet.

The moral of the story is that there have been cowardly assholes at schools for years.

#4 Once you get your head around the idea that 'boys are just maladjusted girls' that is indoctrinated in the (*cough*) College of Education on campuses across the country, you'd begin to understand the mindset of the lemmings that run our school systems. Its basically one big sorority in the first tier education system. The view of the world is thus skewed significantly. Surprise. [notice the lack of calls for 'sensitivity training' in these cases?]

#5 Many parents elect to put their kids in a religious-based school such as Catholic, Christian, Jewish, 7th Day Adventist, etc. or they home school. Discipline, PC, and teacher's unions are not such a problem. Kids that come out of these schools or a home schooling experience tend to do O.K.--usually better than O.K. It can be done.
