Bomb threat closes ALL schools in Wisconsin school district where three teens, aged 13, were accused of sexual harassment for using wrong pronouns to address their non-binary classmate
2022-05-24
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • A bomb threat closed all schools in the district Monday, days after three middle schoolers found themselves under investigation over pronoun use

  • Kiel Middle School received the threat during school hours, as cops said they were investigating 'threatening communications' toward district staff

  • The students, all aged 13, were all hit with a formal complaint earlier this month, for referring to the unnamed student as 'she' or 'her,' rather than 'they' or 'them'

  • One of the children, Braden Rabidoux, spoke out about the investigation in an interview with Fox News last week, airing fears that he may not get into college

  • He along with his two classmates argue that the First Amendment allows them to refer to their nonbinary classmate with whatever pronouns they wish

  • The incident has since gained traction and has garnered national news coverage, thrusting the small Kiel Area School District into the spotlight

#7  School bombing was America's first mass murder.

#6  An actual bomb attack on an entire school district would take a lot of materials, planning and effort. Alternatively, calling in a bomb threat takes the inverse of all of those elements. I believe this incident is a side order of additional stupidity to complement the main course of dumbness which is this entire incident. I think the chief suspect should be a stupid person or group of stupid people. That is the profile I am providing in this case. Please generate a BOLO.

#5  So if an elected official's inaction in the enforcement of law constitutes actual impairment of a "right of priviledge", then willful failure to enforce law can be considered damaging to the privilege of sovereign citizenship. DA's that fail to prosecute entire classes of criminal behavior, or Federal Agents and Prosecutors that don't enforce Immigration Law? These acts are certainly "willful", and they certainly have the "color of authority" and the criminality permitted is certainly damaging to our rights as citizens?
Somewhere in this there has to be a remedy to public officials acting as arbiters of which laws they will enforce or ignore. Prosecutorial discretion has become Imperial Hubris! Lifetime civil service tenure is becoming a form of aristocracy, and the Swamp increasingly seems a Praetorian Guard in the late Imperial Era.
Franklin's commment about a "....Republic, if you can keep it" seems prescient now more than ever.

#4  Yeah, funny how that gets walked around.

'We have to report the story, so do so in a way which makes these boys...these H8rs...appear to be the ones who are intolerant and unwelcome in polite society.'

#3  Bets are that someone from the 'protected class' instigated them, M.

But we may never know for sure as the usual suspects will be implicated....without evidence of course.

As was posted by well informed RantBurg commenter last week.

TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242. Deprivation Of Rights Under Color Of Law. Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.

Thus allowing the wacky liberal Wisconsin school district board, school admin and educators to be charged with violating the Civil Rights of the students.

Let the Lawsuits begin.
