There were no threats. Many people take pictures of their firearms, or pose with them. Had threats been made then it would have been justified.

no it doesnt..

And if it did, that would be an action for the POLICE to handle, not the school.

Sadly they are,

I'm still waiting to hear what these kooks think an appropriate action might have been had they taken a photo of them shooting real guns in a shooting range...

Clearly arrest and life in prison.

What if someone at school views the photograph on their phone and the gun in the photo discharges and kills another student walking down the hall?

It just reinforces my belief of staying the hell off of Facebook, and not putting it out there for all to see. It really has become Orweillian in nature, and nothing is sacred. At any rate, if I were the parent I'd be up that school board's a** in no time!

If a student posted a photo of himself with guns on facebook titled "homecoming" hours after a major school schooling - and students and parents expressed concern to the school - yet the school did nothing (perhaps saying "it's private property, what can we do"), and then the student shot up the place killing your child, I'm sure sure you're sue the school in a heartbeat saying it didn't act when it should have.

There's a big news story in Denver right now. There was a school shooting at Arapahoe High School last December. A school employee just leaked a document (the school had been refusing to hand it over) - a report from the Principal and school psychologist about the killer prepared a few months prior to the shootings - where they dismissed concerns about the shooter's violent threats against students and teachers.

Doing something is having a conversation and/or reporting it to the police if they truly believed there was a threat. This suspension and possible expulsion is heavy handed and well outside the common sense quotient.
