[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Latin parent who completely supports the school's decision.  In this electronic age, this fraudulent threatening email could follow the student victim like a cloud due to his ethnicity, causing serious and lasting scrutiny for the student and their family.  The prank email went into cyberspace to more than 500 addresses.  The expulsion decision is arguably less harmful to the two students than the potential damaging implications to their victim. It no doubt was an extremely agonizing decision for the school and all involved.  One of the school's core values is that "Words Matter"-- this decision, painful as it is, has reinforced that lesson to the entire school community.[/quote]

I believe it was sent using Latin's internal email system.  Emails can't be forwarded outside of Latin from most of those 500 addresses.  [/quote]

My child took a screen shot and forwarded the email to me right after receiving it, informing me that he would not be going to school on Friday.  I saw the name of the kid whose account it was sent from.  How many people have copies of the email?  Likely many more than those it was sent to.  My kid believed at the moment he received it that it was a credible threat and was frightened.  I feel badly for all three of the kids involved, but cannot fault the school for how the matter has been handled.  [/quote]
