[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I BELIEVE you--jokes have consequences. I don't actually want to google bomb threat, but wonder if anyone has actually had their entire life ruined over the proverbial silly 'bomb' comment in an airport.  My guess is not if it was a flip joke.  Maybe inconveniences, but entire life ruined?

Jokes also bright light and laughter to people's lives.  Sometimes impulsive teens struggle with where the line is between a good and a vey unfortunate joke.  My issue is that these kids got expelled and lives irrevocably changed.  I would expect a small, responsive school like WL could counsel them yes, punish them yes, but not blast them out of the water.  That breaks  my trust. It's really hard for me right now to look at the school as a whole the same.[/quote]

An arrest and jail time for a bomb threat are not an "inconvenience."

How exactly have these former Latin students had their "entire lives ruined"?   They are lucky that they are not being charged criminally.[/quote]
