NC: Insane school unleashes fake masked gunman for civics experiment

Via WiscoDave

 

Sixth graders were initially terrified to learn that a masked gunman was on the prowl inside their North Carolina middle school.

But once they learned the gunman was a school employee unwittingly putting them through an emergency preparedness exercise, their minds were set at ease — and their parents became the terrified ones.

The Eastern Wayne Middle School employee donned a ski mask and toy gun, and pretended to be a robber. The school described the incident as “an enrichment lesson on exhibiting good citizenship and observing your surroundings.”

  1. I swear, if some parents don't go have a beat down on the idiot who decided that was a good idea, then they deserve such nonsense.

  3. "exhibiting good citizenship " = cowering and awaiting being slaughtered

    1. Their guidance in 6th grade leaves much to be desired, needless to say.
