For fucks sake. I used to leave my competition gun in the back of my truck as I'd go straight from baseball practice to shooting practice. 12g shotgun x 2 5 gallon bucket of shells Massacres that resulted from the above = 0 |

Not illegal in TN.
By law it is explicitly legal in hunting season. Trouble is, they wouldn't do a single proper thing to the 18yo ne'er do well who brought his rifle to school the very day after he told his English teacher that he was going to bring it to school and shoot her for the mid-term F she gave him. Priorities, priorities, priorities. Theatre and feelings, theatre and feelings -rightfulness and decency be damned. |

A young lady is also facing the same shit from two weeks ago in WY.  She is a big hunter and it was in the middle of deer season, and pheasant season.
The dog hit on the shells, not the gun. Luckily they didn't run it on the teachers cars, who later were freaking the fuck out....

From the sounds of it, the school board is following the Federal playbook, lest it lose Federal funding. However, it also sounds highly likely that the school board is going to pretty much give her a pass on this transgression, as well it should. Unfortunately, there are some rules that MUST be followed in a bureaucracy if you don't want to get yourself into a LOT of trouble. Just like we have to pay the silly $200 tax to have an SBR, SBS, or MG, even though most of us think it's a stupid requirement, the school board must suspend the young lady until the hearing is held. It doesn't mean the school board is full of incompetent idiots or cowards, it simply means they are following the rules imposed by the government.
Of course, there are some members here who would crucify the school board for following the rules, but in the next breath would decry Customs and Border Patrol if they don't follow the rules as they are written and deport every illegal alien which they catch. In short, you can't expect one part of government to follow the rules and then grant another the right to ignore the rules. |

the article seems to state that the school board feels the issue has been blown out of proportion by outside sources, and from their comments, they seem to have some ability to work with the girl to reach a reasonable compromise.
I'll withhold judgment until the school board makes a ruling. |

Please expand that statement. She did a dumb thing. What needs explanation? It was dumb to admit to breaking the law when keeping silent likely would have resulted in absolutely nothing. Instead, she assumed that her friendly local government bureaucrats would let her slide if she "came clean" or "did the right thing." The lesson here is that the government is not here to help you. Sticking your neck out for them and "coming clean" is a good way to get screwed. And from a personal moral standpoint, there's nothing wrong with having an unloaded firearm locked in your trunk. By the same token, incriminating yourself because you broke a stupid law written by high functioning morons is not any more "moral" than remaining silent. Granted, morals are a personal thing. I can't prove that morality by anything but my own personal measuring guide. But I was raised with a moral code that deals with being honest with other individuals in order to do them no harm. I wouldn't even have to think twice in this situation. |

That means the average taxpayer in your county would foot an even greater share of the burden, even if they don't have kids of their own, or if they elected to send their own kids to a private school. (By the way, I agree with you, in principle. The school board shouldn't be beholden to the Federal government. That only brings things like Zero-Tolerance and the other American education travesty, No Child Left Behind. Unfortunately, education costs are simply too high for local tax bases and that means they have to use Federal funding. And, when you stick out one of your hands to a loanshark, he twists the other one behind your back.) Zero, if I had my way. I'm not responsible for my neighbor's kids' education. Nor do I care if they grow up to be ditch diggers. Thomas Jefferson would passionately disagree with you. In fact, after the Declaration of Independence was passed, one of the FIRST things he did was write a State constitution, which, amongst many other things, provided for a free, secular, primary education system for all free males. You see, ole TJ was as big a proponent of educating his neighbor's kids as he was of ensuring them the right to keep and bear arms, for only through proper education can our Republic hope to survive and thrive. There is no such thing as free education. |

Of course not. But, "free" was used in the context that the person recieving the education wouldn't recieve a bill. Instead, the State would pay for the education, through tax revenue.

while I disagree with what the school did, she knew better.
Good lesson in responsibility. |

Quoted:
I kept a Colt CAR-15 in the trunk of my new 84 fiero all through high School Things change I guess Yeah, a SWAT team would respond these days. My HS teachers used to talk about how kids would bring their rifles in...the teacher would keep a shotgun and some shells for hunting birds in the back field. |
