'The student used extremely poor judgment in making the comment."


Really? Seems to me that statement applies to everyone except the student. What did he do wrong except express his opinion?

It's scary that the police will react like that, while the FBI ignored all kinds of warnings prior to the Florida shooting.

This is right up there with the kid who got suspended for chewing his pop tart into the shape of a gun.

Yes, I know there reason is it was for disrupting the classroom but it's still a crazy story.

American schools are too focused on athletics and not academics, nothing surprises me anymore.

LE needs to find a medium reaction now to perceived threats....that is hardly the same as all Cruz's comments prior to shooting.
