Do you even hear yourself. Go to a covid thread to discuss that |
What's the problem at Churchill? |
I think a good chunk of this number includes seniors who as of today are no longer in school. The senior beach trip took its toll. Lots of students missed prom. |
And some went to prom knowing that they had COVID. |
This is exactly apot on and I suspect prescient. I can feel a backlash coming against people with mental or developmental differences now that every incident is blamed on "mental health." In reality, autistic people are stickers for following the rules and have been found to be much LESS likely to commit crimes. |

*sticklers for following the rules

So what? If you chose to attend prom you were clearly willing to take the chance of catching Covid, from someone knowingly infected or not. |
Students with disabilities are already prime targets at Churchill for bullying which the Churchill administrators have not addressed. No one should make violent threats and hopefully the student will get the help he needs. It was a cry for help given the police investigated and confirmed the child didn’t have access to weapons. |
Sorry, no. No name is given. We’re done sweeping threats against school kids under the rug so we don’t hurt anyone’s feefees. |
| Who sent the email that said the student had "special needs"? They should be fired. |
There was no threat per administration and police. So stuff it in your sour pants. |
| Why is it necessary for the article to identify the kid as having "special needs?" That could mean anything from a learning disability, to autism, to a more severe intellectual disability. The kid made a threat. Whether he/she has some sort of disability is irrelevant. |
Exactly. It was a few years ago, but after a shooting threat at my kid's school was debunked, I was volunteering for a school event and had three kids explain I was working with explaln that they'd reported the suspected kid because they were autistic and "autistic kids shoot up schools." That's a direct quote. Did the school ever address that? No. They did not. Do I think kids are still absorbing that message? I do. |
Churchill takeaway: "You don't have to worry about protecting the most vulnerable. Indeed, it's fine to spread rumors about them! Life is a zero sum game and you're a winner!" Like I said, you couldn't pay me to send kids there. |
This is sick. If I was threatened in this way, I’d call the police and file charges. Y’all need to do that and take care of all the innocents suffering. Why do you abide this? |
