My comment about blame was in response to you alluding to the FBI being blamed.

If LA wants to shut down all their schools with every threat, then let them. I don't care.
Okay then. There is no reason to argue or even debate. Hope you understand this.

I am an aunt of three adorable nephews (age 4-6) My God son just turned 6. I have several half nephews and nieces living in Germany whom I worry about all the time. I care. But I understand the point you are making.

The information about each school district was district specific.
And the FBI said the message had misspelled words and that allah was not capitalized among other things.

Very likely an American public school student or graduate then.

Don't expect this to go away. If anything it's getting worse.

Homeschooling may be your last option.

Nah. Private schools. I think it will get worse before it gets better. It will eventually get better. This I do know.

As for now, yeah, bullet proof vests for them. I am a paranoid aunt and God mother.

The comment made is that no true jihadist would spell allah with a small "a".
They also said there were other items in that email that led them to call hoax but didn't say.
I guess there's some things they want to be kept secret so they can filter messages.

I agree 100%!

If people disagree and want to make a stand against it why don't they demand that their kids stay in the school regardless of threats. Put you're own kids life on the line, not others.
