A 2023 state law requires a yearlong expulsion for any student who threatens mass violence on school property. But some students have been kicked out even when school officials determined that the threat was not credible.
This is a pretty convoluted situation. The law seems extreme in its application, yet we’ve very recently had a teacher shot by an angry child of only six years. Unfortunately for this child, who may not have been a legitimate threat, our society has not addressed the larger issues at hand, so useless laws like this that won’t actually solve the problem make some people feel better.
