A story only the Backroomers can love- um...

Dear lord...

Yes thats probably what the 25-50 or so students cried out that were being masacred in schools in the U.S. in the 90's (columbine the leading one).

I live in Massachusetts, I dont know how well you know the states but i live in thee most liberal part of the United States hands down, and even here after the plethera of school shootings new policies were implimented to ensure saftey in schools.

In my kids case, there schools have the monitor....

I can hardly wait for the TV show, "Are you smarter than a 5th grader having sex?"

Not sure how a hall monitor is going to counter some dude with a combat shotgun or a micro-uzi

part of the plan was to have an adult present with children as much as possible. To combat the dude with the uzi well thats a harder nut to crack.

Right now, at my sons elementry school I cannot get into it, there is a bell I have to ring at all doors, and intercom systems which i am asked my business at the school, and then someone comes down to verify I am who I say I am based on my picture ID that I have given them a copy of.

Well it is more secure than the average school, but if you really want get in and kill someone, that's not going to be much of a challenge. Also, it does not do anything about the "occasional inside nut case" factor

Well yes i agree, in the US given the freedoms we do have if someone really does want to kill someone or a group of people they can plan it out and execute the plan there is very little you can do.

That being said, schools are soft targets so they do what they can with the capabilities they have. Locking down the school to outsiders at a minimum gives you at least that one barrier of defense (as minimal as it is).

Charging pre-teens with obscenity? That's a measured and effective way to deal with this issue.

I think the problem is that they did it in front of a group of students. If they had their little orgy somewhere else then there probably would not be a problem. I blame the lookout.

Strange.

In a local high school near where I live, they would have handed out punishments to the students who watched. Probably a method to keep lawsuits at bay.

Hmm...your kids are in jail? That sounds more like a maximum security prison than a school.
