I think that this school isn't doing anything wrong and they have the right to ask people to leave the district who refuse to comply with their rules and regulations.

Prosecutors release new documents related to December's shootings at school in Newtown, Connecticut Documents: Investigators found a gun safe in shooter Adam Lanza's room Documents: 1,400 rounds of ammunition found in Lanza's home Police say Adam Lanza killed his mother, then 20 children and six staff members at Hook Elementary school in Connecticut before killing himself Live updates below.

i think that they should make the gun law more strict because now a days it is easy for anyone to get a gun and should make it harder for someone to get into a school that is not supposed to be there

To erase some of the emotional scars left behind from the December shooting massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, an advisory board wants the building torn down and replaced.

i think its a good thing that they tear down sandy hook school and rebuild a new one because nobody is going to be able to go into the school without being completely terrified and all they will remember is what happened.

sad thing that happened. thats why i think school should have more security.

I'm going to Texas!!

I completely agree with Madison.

Actually this doesn't sound bad, because colleges will still require it, and Texas schools don't necessarily have the same grading system as us.

"A former Los Angeles public schools official is suing the system over settlements with dozens of students who were awarded $470,000 each, alleging that a teacher sentenced to prison on charges of lewd behavior never came into abusive contact with those children."

Its hard to say with cases that involve teachers vs. students. While the teachers tend to be more credible, people accept students to be young and innocent and not able to lie under pressure. Who knows what really happened.

Police in Jacksonville, Ark., have released dramatic dash cam video of children escaping a school bus after it was allegedly hijacked by a knife-wielding man, who led police on a chase that lasted for some 12 miles, said police. Nicholas Miller, 22, was arrested on Oct.

Dash cams have done a lot of good in keeping track of students and work better than relying on eye witnesses.

Yemeni officials said Saudi airstrikes targeting a military base on Tuesday hit a nearby school, injuring at least a half dozen students.

The school wasn't their main attack. They killed over 100 people in a two week time frame.

At least 74 children are known to have been killed and 44 children maimed since the fighting began on March 26, UNICEF said Monday in a statement. That did not include the children reportedly killed Tuesday in Maitam.

This case is NOT about the S.L.A.P.S test to decide if something is obscene (Serious Literary, Artistic, Political, Scientific value). So anyway, different sort of slap... Do you think the school reacted with an appropriate punishment?

I think they went too far for the punishment. I understand that it's bad to randomly hurt people, but expelling him is too much.

I agree that it went to far.

(CNN) -- The five victims in last week's shooting at a Washington high school were invited to the same lunch table by the shooter. "It's our understanding he (invited them) via texting," Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary told reporters Monday.

The incident at Rhodes Middle School in San Antonio late last month was captured on cell phone video. "We understand that situations can sometimes escalate to the point of requiring a physical response; however, in this situation we believe that the extent of the response was absolutely unwarranted," said San Antonio Independent School District Superintendent Pedro Martinez.

The TikTok was taken at home but it held racist comments and content on it. The school had no Right to punish them because it was not their business, on their property, or targeting anyone in particular. However, Racist, Lewd, or illegal Content is not ok and surpasses the first amendment; Freedom of Speech.

While the article is about South Africa, many of it's points ring true for America. Education, when you think about it in the deepest manner, is not really about Education; it's about proving you'd be a good worker, and not much else. But I'm curious to see what others think.

I agree with the article about how schools should focus on building democratic citizens, instead of just good workers. Young people need to know their rights and how they can impact the country, and some places don't do a good job teaching children those things. I've personally learned a lot about my rights in government class, so I think our school is doing a good job.

I believe that the education system in America is mainly about passing more than it is about learning. I feel like I'm working a job and the assignments that I finish are just to get the job done. However, I believe that when students actual learn, understand, and are amazed by different topics, that is the true point of education. In all, while this article was about South Africa, it shows how we shouldn't be focusing on being a good worker but how we should be focusing on becoming better citizens.

Free Speech, Free Press, Censorship, Theft, Racism... LOTS to unpack in this story.

This article discusses two CDC studies- one on low risk of school spread and one on high risk of sports spreading COVID. After reading, which do you agree more with?

Step1 - get a working vaccine. Step2 - convince more people to take it. There are quite a few people (anti-vax and others) who will be reluctant to take the first round of vaccines. Are you guys ready to get it right away? Should schools require it?

I feel like schools should require the vaccine so school districts can go back to normal a bit sooner.

There has to be something wrong with this kid. If you read the story and hear what he said to the court and to the families of the victims he shot, you'll understand. It is scary that someone could be so awful.

People like this don't do well in Prisons. He'll most likely have a very rough life where he's going, especially after what he has said. He'll "get what is coming for him" and I honestly feel no pity, even though I do believe he should be charged as an adult. This is disgusting. I would not have been able to rest easy if I were in that court knowing the guy is in jail after what he had done, let alone what he had said, he deserves way worse than what he got. He obviously took pleasure in killing those innocent students. Good luck in prison, mate, because you are certainly going to need it if you don't want to end up as cold as those concrete walls you'll be surrounded by. Either that or he'll end up as Big Jerry's finger puppet.

The death sentence would be an easy way out for him. Spending your entire life rotting away in jail having your actions hung over your head is a much better punishment in my opinion. Not to mention, killing someone else will not bring your loved ones back or make you feel better, at least it shouldn't anyway. I read a story about a woman's 6 year old daughter who had been kidnapped and murdered,but she did not wish to have the man killed, because she said, "How do I honor Susie and Susie's life and the goodness and sweetness and beauty of who she was? To kill somebody in her name would be an insult to her memory." I'm not saying anyone is wrong, I just think life sentence without parole is a better option.

"Branstad, who was elected in 2010 as part of a resurgent GOP, has made proposals many Republicans would sneer at: raising minimum teacher salaries and offering incentive pay for teachers who take on more responsibilities - all by tapping $187 million in new school funding."

This is a big shake up in a place where many people have been so comfortable for so long. And the little brother will never be the same.. finding his sister stabbed to death..? I can't imagine.

how did someone manage to get a knife in school and still be able to stab someone without being seen by anyone so i think they should have more security.

It's sad to know that there are people out there who do these horrible things for no reason.
