    All this punishment on a smart kid who simply wanted to have a school councilor to talk to after he had lost his father to cancer.

    This shitty principal should be fired and also investigated for false reporting. I’d be really interested to hear which student reported this boy for uttering a threat to kill the principal because it sounds more like the principal made this up to toss a kid in solitary confinement for a weekend to shut him up.

      This was a school shooting threat in the county next to Uvalde. This needs to be 100% researched and investigated.

        No. This was a principal punishing a child for being difficult by making up threats. Nobody even mentioned shooting except you.

          Not even difficult, he was just interested in using the mental health faculty that was provided the year before to continue to work through his father’s death. She could easily have explained to the kid or his parent that the councilor would not be replaced. Going after the kid with selective enforcement of uniform rules while ignoring others was blatant punishment and the escalation to calling the police is excessive force. If this kid were black there is even a higher than normal chance the cops would have hurt him by treating him like an adult.

            Absolutely! Should have been clearer that I meant him being difficult from the perspective of the principal, not from that of myself or anyone else with any empathy and common sense.

          Yes. that is exactly what I said. The full source of the threat reported needs to be examined. If the principle is found to be the origin he needs to go to prison.

            The fucked up thing is, that they are, but not the way the OC implies. 24h news cycles and heavy exposure to reports glorifying shooters do act as triggers for other potential shooters. The same is true for suicide and serial killers.
