Do you mean the "If it had been anyone else" part? Is this woman (Deja Taylor) in some type of position of power or something? Or maybe related to someone who is?

I've been wondering that for months. No leak at all with the name. And, no explanation for why they didn't send the kid to a different type of school.

there is a woman with the same name in Richmond who appears to be connected with Richmond schools as an activist. I wonder if they are related. Or, is she related to one of the administrators at the school or in the system?

I think the unsavory but actual truth is that the child’s age and the races of the teacher versus the boy and his parents are the reason for the delays and for the lack of initial revelation of names and identities. The accommodation makes zero sense. The complete foul disregard the admin has and had for the teacher. The absurd overprotection of the boy at expense of other students and families. There’s a difference between wanting to give kids another chance and this, between saving a very young black boy from being “a statistic” and this. And from what people have found on Facebook the parents and kid are awful. Yes, the kid too.

I also wondered why people weren’t talking or how the names weren’t leaked on reddit, twitter or social media. Did the parents in class or school have to sign a non disclosure?

What would be the incentive for them (the other parents) to sign it? Were they promised money? Threatened?

Don't know. But, think about it--anytime there is a shooting, a "friend" is almost always quoted. example: a friend of the Louisville shooter who went to high school with hin; teachers who knew the Covenant shooter and students from her art school also talked.

This is just very, very strange. Because it was a child, I udnerstand the name not being revealed, but the fact that no neighbor spoke out when the community clearly knew who she was.

She is correct. The parent is the first person but the administrators who literally ignored multiple warnings THAT DAY that he had a gun also need to be indicted.

Criminal and civil. Absolutely nuts that they let a 6 year old with known behavioral problems walk around school with a gun. Both the parents and the school administrators need to go to prison for a long time.

DP. It's not nuts. Kids bring guns to school, it happens often enough. Sometimes by mistake, sometimes as a threat. That's much more common than a 6 year old using a gun at school.

But the administrators were told several times that this problem six year old had a gun. And they did nothing and a teacher got shot. As for the parents, f- them for leaving an unsecured gun around. Prison for all of them. And if a union supports these horrible school administrators, well, is it any wonder there's no support for public unions anymore. This situation is horrible but totally preventable and the responsible adults need to be held to account so it doesn't happen again - both the reckless parents and the breathtakingly incompetent administrators

Agree. But, don't be shocked. That was always the union carrot to get you to join--"they will protect you if you are sued." I have not seen anything at this level defended, but I have seen terrible teachers defended by the union against firing. Why do you think NYC has teachers being paid for not working?

+1 So true and absurd. Unions should not be in the business of protecting teachers who deserve to be fired.

Is this district even unionized? It’s been legal in Virginia for less than a year and last I heard very few districts have started the process

Many teachers belong to the NEA. Even in Virginia. It is just not required. It was never 'required" where I taught, but they always said that "if you get sued it could ruin your life" and a lot of teachers join exclusively for the liability insurance.

The dad does not live there.

The gun is registered to the mom.
