This was my thought too. The twitter post almost seemed comical, like something you'd see in a movie.

My son, an LJ student, said "everyone knows the IG post is a bad joke about the bathroom graffiti." )He said it was on IG first and then copied to X/Twitter.

This could happen at any school-ES, MS, or HS in any region of FCPS. Stop with the ignorance.

+1. My kid goes there for AAP and has had an excellent education. My other child will also be attending LJ.

AAP is a bubble wherever you go. The regular kids though are a different story. I feel bad for those who have to go there but aren’t AAP.

Even though the IG and X post reads as a joke, why did this still did not get any news coverage?

The matter is serious enough to not be discounted as a joke. Heck the school sent out 3 notifications already because of this.

Hate to be political about it but is it possible that left wing outlets ignored it because FCPS leans left and right wing outlets ignored it because of gun control?

I feel sad about the numerous grammatical and spelling errors in the threat.

We are truly failing our kids when they can't send out a well worded threat.

True. And aren't such failed kids the ones so messed up, that they could possibly carry out their poorly worded and grammatically incorrect threat?

Anyone know why the other thread discussing this is now gone?

It’s hit the news at least:

Oh thank goodness. I feel so much better about this situation now. Hopefully NBC4 and the other news outlets will cover it, too.

A note just came out from the principal that the threat has been mitigated.

What does "mitigated" mean in this context? This concerns me: "the threat has been mitigated. as a result, there is no threat to the school at this time." This makes it sound like there was an actual threat (as opposed to a prank). The choice of words is worrisome.
