The school board is basically admitting that teaches are gonna get shot as part of their jobs. That’s so fucked up
First grade teachers at that.
Where did they admit that?
This is the good bit though:
So they argued exactly the opposite...
Also anyone who thinks that's a "common occurrence" is delusional.
No, sorry, I probably shouldn't have included that part of the quote. Zwerner is the teacher that got shot, that's her attorneys arguing that. The school is trying to claim it is an unfortunate but common occurrence.
