Third-grader expelled after a "hit list" is found in his desk

"We never believed for a second that people were truly in danger," says the principal of the Lutheran school. “But this sort of thing in this day and age, you just can’t do that. It will never be acceptable. We still care for this person and we are in constant prayer, for that person now." (Hamilton Journal-News)
> From the same newspaper: Girl, 16, is accused of putting hand cleaner in a teacher's cup of tea.

Lutherans, go figure.

Hey, we're not all that nutty.

I am thankful for the one-size-fits-all-zero-tolerance-policy that keeps all of us alive and well every single day. I will gladly give up every bit of freedom I have for that. If it saves just one life, it will be worth it!
Did any of you know I could cram that much sarcasm in a paragraph? Could be a record even for me....

That's a shame. Sounds like the kid has problems. He's in for a rough ride in life, I expect.

I've got a little list, they'll none of 'em be missed. - W. S. Gilbert, 1885

Maybe he didn't get as many trophies as the other children...and now he is permanantly disturbed.

[twerp]

Maybe he just meant to hit them--or he knows of an underground music scene and was rating their music.

[Sigh]

Amen, RMM, Amen. Think of the children...

[LimeGreenLizard]

RMM, I do believe you may one of the best smart asses in history! ;!) *sigh...

Really, I think this kid may have Asperger's Syndrome. I personally know one.

[RockyMtnMac]

Sigh, if it saves just one life, yada yada yada! I am thinking of the snowflakes, I mean children.

*thanks Lizard... *wink

This is exactly what I've been complaining about with teachers- they do things with absolutely no sense. My son's teacher requested that kids not bring in ham sandwiches "just to be safe" against swine flu. Eating ham has nothing to do with swine flu, so it's NOT "just to be safe."

[Sigh]

Swine Flu, the other Bird Flu.

“We never believed for a second that people were truly in danger,” Mayo said. “But rather than providing appropriate guidance and discipline, we cut them free, because, at third grade, they are already a lost cause.”

Good God. I remember in 8th grade (1970), several of us working on a detailed (and quite artistic) depiction of our least favorite teachers and admins lined up in front of a firing squad. Our history teacher discovered the drawing, took us into his office, and lectured us on the inaccuracies of the weapons and uniforms of the executioners. Then told us it probably wasn't a good idea to do this again. We all had a good laugh. Case closed. No lives ruined.

Okay, one of us ended up being the Unabomber, but other than that . . .
