Although bringing guns to school may have occurred in a bygone era, we live in a time when this type of behavior isn't going to win little Johnny any extra credit points in class...especially a matter of days after a school shooting once again focuses national media attention on the matter.....not 'high functioning' indeed.

WTF?
What goddamned difference does it make if the kids were Mensa students or remedial shoe tying 101?
That little turd that lit up Arapahoe was certainly "intelligent".
Oh wait, we can't talk about him- he doesn't fit the progressive model.

How is it officials can berate a child making statements such as "we don't feel he really understands what a socialist is"(AHS) or "not highly functioning" but yet if a 6 year old boy feels like he should be a girl they are fully supporting of him?
In the first two examples the "officials" should be sued for slander and defamation of character.
Fuck, our moral compass is so screwed....

Hmmm ... how about we all take a step back? The information in the story is sketchy -- is Cooke a knee-jerk anti-gun Obamoron? It's been pointed out the parents themselves were the ones who turned the kids in. Perhaps we could give them some credit for trying to be parents and loving their kids and think about what might motivate parents to do this? What if Adam Lanza's mother had turned him in before he shot her? What if Loughner's parents or Holmes' family had asked the sheriff to pick them up before they committed THEIR crimes?

I'd like to wait for some more information before immediately assuming the parents are unloving fearful idiots.
