It’s so concerning that you put the student with the school counselor (who may or may not be trained to handle this) and summon the parents to the school and tell them to get the kid into professional counseling within 48 hours. You’re going to let that kid remain on campus and return prior to getting with a professional?

Maybe I’m crazy, but that seems to be just as negligent.
Just what law do you think exists in Michigan do you think exists that allows a school official to expel a child "on gut instinct". We've got the right and the left persecuting law enforcement for enforcing mask and vaccine mandates, we've got the left marching whenever a teenager is forcibly detained when they're committing felony assault, then we've got 17 year olds showing up to active riots with assault rifles thinking they're going to be patriots. And getting away with it.

School officials are required to save the world with miniscule funding, highly restrictive laws, no tolerance for discipline from parents who could use the same or worse and a populace on both sides ready to overreact to everything.

No, this little fucker was allowed easy access to a gun of not outright given it altogether. His parents completely delegated all responsibility to his school and mommy dearest shows all the signs through her text of knowing he intended on doing it on the first place.

No, absolutely no, those parents being hauled into jail while additional charges are pending is ABSOLUTELY the right thing to do. We've had yet another mass shooting in a country with a country with way too many firearms and way too little self discipline.

The principle should be hailed as a hero for doing everything they could within the law. That this happened minutes after the parents were summoned and abandoned their armed son in school shows just how right their instincts were.
