Teach Your Children Well

That's quite some "enrichment exercise." So much for "zero tolerance" and "no bullying" policies. [More]

Can you imagine being Ken Derksen, and knowing your function in life is to be an excuse-making flack? Must be nice to be on that public school gravy train, where they can afford "public information officers."

The moron who planned this, the moron who approved it, the moron who did it and every moron who participated in it deserve to have the same thing happened to them and their families.

I was hoping it would also be a prosecutable crime, but NC statutes would appear to give them a pass on at least one count:
(g) This section shall not apply to any of the following:
(1)        A weapon used solely for educational or school-sanctioned ceremonial purposes, or used in a school-approved program conducted under the supervision of an adult whose supervision has been approved by the school authority.
I suppose it could also be argued a toy gun is not really a "weapon" for the purposes of the statute, but I still question whether or not assault and some sort of terrorism charges could be applied... and then there's that business about adult supervision...

And they wonder why the weakest ones snap.

Zero Tolerance for others, not so much for the School Admins who approved this and the person who carried the gun simulator.

If a student had waved a toy gun back at the assailant actor, he would now be in jail.

Seems there's a whole bunch of "terrorism" statutes that could apply here.

Idiots.
