Doesn't really seem that there were really any adults present.

I don't know what really happened, I wasn't there, but it sure looks to me like all this could have been handled a lot differently.

Maybe like adults in charge? :biggrinjester:

I could come up with a dozen scenarios where it was clearly the kids fault. The only reason to assume it was the teacher escalating the issue is because it fits a internal narrative you prefer. Heck we don't know that the teacher is even anti gun or NRA, they could just have been trying to enforce what they thought was a school policy. While I thinks it's stupid I bet there are many schools where it would be against policy so it's possible to have an honest misunderstanding without having sinister motives.

I don't think I posted anything about who's fault it was.....just wondering how a adult could let it escalate to the point it did....they are suppose to be in charge.
I prefer that people don't put words into my post.

A teacher screaming at a student over a shirt IMO is a matter for HR and possibly the counseling department.

Yet another example of a person (this time a teen) getting railroaded because someone got their shorts in a twist and want this teen to learn to fear and tremble as serf instead of standing as a citizen.
Dindn't I hear that the interaction between the teacher and the student over the shirt ended with a disturbance that included 30 kids standing on tables? So if the "cops" responded to that rather than an issue with the kids shirt it sure makes a difference in how it's viewed, at least from my perspective.

So my question would be....why in the world would a teacher let this escalate to such a state over a Tshirt?
