I heard about this story earlier today on the news and it just made me sick.
For those of you who don’t know what I am talking about, “staff members of a Murfreesboro TN elementary school staged a fake gunman attack during a school trip”. Source: WREG
This has to be one of the worst decisions ever on the part of school officials. I mean, seriously, what were they thinking? After all of the school shootings in the past few years and most recently, the Virginia Tech shootings… the last thing you should do is stage a fake attack and scare the hell out of those kids. According to the story linked above, the assistant principal described the event as “a learning experience”. Uhm, ssuurree…
I will be keeping an eye on this story and can only hope that every involved in this plot loses their jobs / teaching license. Am I the only one who feels this way?
