I doubt they would have done the same thing had the pictures been of him out hunting or at the shooting range with captions like "I like to hunt," or "I like to shoot targets." Angel of death? That's gonna send any principal over the edge.

When I was in K-12 my principals were not in control of anything that occured beyond the schools property line. It was not the school systems business what I did off school property as long as I behaved myself on school property.

correct and thats the way it should be, its absoutly assanine that schools can suspend people because they went to a party on the weekend miles from the school where there was rumored to be beer at, and yes that actually does happen

while i'm not defending the school on the original topic, the beer at parties thing is a legitimate time the school can be involved. any time i see it they are seeking out information/evidence about these parties because it has to do with athletes violating training rules.

High school athletics is important enough that it requires school control of the athletes activities off campus? I would think if they are breaking training rules it would be obvious to the coach at practices if it was truly detrimental to the kids performance.

have you ever went out for a high school sport? signing training rules in order to participate is very common day.

I suspect those signed rules are taken about as seriously as the "Code Of Conduct" they force kids to sign in public schools now. If the football team is dumb enough to post pics of a beer party in public after signing a pledge with their coach then I have no problem with the coach taking action to kick them off the team but that is about as far as I think it should go. They would have done that when I was in school without having any silly signed pledge.

yes those rules are taken seriously here. i guess it depends on the area or the school.

They are taken seriously here as well by the adults. It is the instrument they use to bludgeon the kids for such horrid acts as snowball throwing, playing knuckles or slaps, or giving a friend a shove in the hallway. Much like 3 strikes laws they are a way to eliminate any possible use of common sense and discretion by school teachers and administrators. Remember the kids are forced to sign that they agree with these things before they are allowed to attend school at the beginning of each year. What do you think would happen to a kid that actually had the nerve to question one of the provisions? A contract signed under duress is just worthless IMHO.

He should've told the cops he's a rednecks. Rednecks have the rights to possess and fire automatic firearms before they can walk.

Hell at my gradeschool the teachers gave us rifles and other guns as an after school program. We shot at targets and learned gun safety amongst respect for weapons. We also had horse back riding, archery, wake boarding and sailboats.

where the hell did you go to school?

As recently as the 1970's it was not uncommon in rural systems for kids to carry guns to school to go hunting with after school. Many suburban schools during that time had rifle and shooting clubs as well.

there was many times that i would bring my hunting gear to school (early 90's). we would have ot leave it in a locked office.

It really was not uncommon to see gun racks in trucks with a rifle in it etc.

To the best of my knowledge it is against the law in every state for a student to bring a gun on school property or in a school zone. So I think your lying through your teeth if your saying that some school, in the 90's no less, allowed this.

Evergreen High School is in the same district as Columbine High School, where two teenage gunmen killed 12 students and a teacher before committing suicide in 1999.

Good enough reason for me. Kids need to learn to just stop being dumbasses.

maybe in NJ things are diffrent. but we have a pretty large hunting and farming cummonuty.

It was not uncommon for people to bring hunting gear to school (since we would go before school). there was even a hunting club.

heck on kid brought in his recurve (bow) in to show the teacher in class.

shrug but classy you can say what you want. shrug the schools around were diffrent (not now).
