    No, they need individual punishmemt, too. Same with cops. Same with business executives. They all hide behind their position and avoid personal consequences. Like the south park “we’re sorry” episode mocking BP?

    We need to be holding individuals accountable when the institution let’s things happen. It’s the only real way to get bad people out of power.

      Forget the school, the individuals in the administration are the ones that need to be sued.

      No, they need individual punishmemt, too.

      They were not saying as well but instead of.

      Personally, I believe they should be barred from any position in education but that is not what I was replying to.

        Barring them isn’t enough. The only acceptable place is prison. Criminal negligence and child endangerment charges at the minimum.

          You have your opinion, I have mine.

          Criminal negligence and child endangerment

          That sounds like something for the person (parent, I assume) that gave the child access to a pistol.
