My alma mater (Savanna High School) had a threat get into the school paper… you can read about it here.
My cousin goes there now – she’s a sophomore. I am livid at what she’s shared with me – basically that none of the teachers are taking it remotely serious. And that not only were parents not informed about any of this, but the students are mostly in the dark as well. Kids are only finding out as rumors spread.
I think the lady who has been on the news and is quoted in the article in the OC register (Pat Karlak) is a pompass ASS for ignoring the severity of the possibility of violence on campus. She said the following 3 assanine things:
“We believe it to be an innocent prank, but we never-the-less have responded to it in a serious fashion.”
“Police are on campus today and at least through Friday.”
“I think with the attention this is getting the campus of Savanna High School will be one of the safest places in Anaheim this week.”
Well apparently people in the good ol’ AUHSD don’t watch the effing news anymore. I am not saying to live as a paranoid schitzo, but if militia stuff (sound familiar from other shootings?) is being mentioned and there is a date, etc – they should be doing more. I am a Savanna Alumni and an AUHSD former employee – can’t believe the newer blood they have in there these days.
I get that the news is reporting all the police presence, but when I am the one calling my aunt to let her know about this and my cousin is telling me that teachers are telling kids to relax and get over it and those kids are getting in trouble for asking questions about it…. well that’s a bunch of B.S. The threat alone could scare some kids enough as it is – even if it is a “joke”.
I am hoping my aunt keeps my cousin home from school on Friday. We all remember Fridays in HS – missing one isn’t going to be that big of a deal regardless of the severity of the threat or prank.
Oh yah, the school paper this was in came out last week … still people aren’t knowing about it. Total CRAP.
