If there is a more difficult task than reestablishing safety and trust after a school shooting it is hard to imagine what that might be, and yet that is what officials at Hopkins High School in Oxford Michigan faced.
As one would hope, the administration sent a memo out to teachers that provided guidance to the teachers. One teacher didn’t use it and went so far beyond…
According to News Channel 3,:
“Hopkins High School principal Ken Szczepanski said the comments referenced physical violence and weapons on the day after the deadly shootings at Oxford High School,” the station reported.
“The things that he said, how he would’ve committed the act differently with detail, is extremely scary,” the parent said. “That he would’ve pulled a smoke detector, so that he could create a distraction, in order to carry out his hit list and kill the people that he would need to. It was gut-wrenching devastation that a grown adult would mentally harm our children this way.”
“Zero tolerance, zero tolerance,” one parent said. “He should absolutely not be back in school or teaching anywhere, ever.”
Obviously. A grown adult charged with the duty to help comfort kids and assure them that everything was being done to assure their safety, only to then talk about how one could be more efficient in killing more kids or “targets”? Meaning “this could have been much worse if the kid had only used a bit of common sense and planned it out better…”
One could almost imagine one of the most damaged kids in the school taking notes and thinking about his time.
Sick. Fire him.
