I guess BB gun isn't scary enough so the make you dance with pellets:
"2 Taunton teens suspended for photo with pellet guns" by Kiera Blessing | Globe Correspondent October 29, 2014
We are all being Tauntoned because I had to do a search for this when I'm staring at it in print.
Two Taunton teenagers have been suspended from Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School after they posted a photo on the Internet in which they were holding real-looking pellet guns with the caption “Homecoming 2014,” school officials said.
“The picture itself is really of no concern ... but when they tied it to a school activity or event we [took] action,” said Richard Gross, the school’s superintendent.
Our children must be instructed in the coming wave of tyranny and total immersion in the surveillance society and all these actions by the puffed-up potentates of "schools" -- more like politically-correct dungeons of dogma, inculcation, and indoctrination if you ask me.
The photo, obtained by Boston media outlets, showed a smiling boy and girl holding the pellet guns.
Yeah, they put up the Twitter shot for the article.
The photo came to the school’s attention Sunday, when concerned parents began calling and complaining about the photo, Gross said. He said the students were suspended beginning Tuesday not because of the photo, but because they caused a “disruption” at the school with their “online activities.”
Was a psyop shooting stopped by this?
Gross described the disruption as “students being afraid, and the whole gamut of things you would expect when they’re sharing things like that with their peers.”
?????????
Gross said he did not know when the photo was posted, but it appeared the teenagers were dressed as if they were ready to go to Friday’s homecoming dance. Had Taunton police seen the photo beforehand, they would have canceled the dance, Gross said.
The students, who are juniors, will meet with school officials Wednesday to discuss the incident and determine a reasonable punishment, Gross said. The students are entitled to have a legal representative at the meeting and to give their side of the story.
Time for you kids to transfer somewhere else.
“The whole range of punishments are available, depending on the degree and severity of what went on,” Gross said, including expulsion.
What did they actually do other than post a photo?
Despite an onslaught of disapproval from across the country in e-mails and other communications, much of which was riddled with vulgarity, Gross said he stood behind the school’s principal and that the community has expressed support.
You can never do what they say.
“I think the principal acted 100 percent correctly,” Gross said. “I wouldn’t have done a thing different myself, and I think that her response to this is probably a good case study for people who want to do it the right way.”
The students have “acknowledged that what they did wasn’t right,” Gross said, though he did not know if the students would publicly admit guilt because “all of this has been blown out of reasonable proportion.”
Is that why the web version was removed?
--more--"
Gross, huh?
