I am guessing that this school district has plenty of actual problem students but instead is focusing on spent casings. Of course even a live round is not a threat unless you are chucking them at someone but a spent casing isn't dangerous unless you swallow it. Geniuses.

Hillsoboro county, home to Tampa the Florida west coast bastion of Liberalism. No surprise other than it wasnt Orlando.

Remember this on Giving Tuesday(Yeah I know it was yesterday, but its never too late) when you want to donate to a non-profit that not only supports gun rights but the rights of those who happen to be in the way of these ignorant people that willfully violate the law to spread their agenda.

Thank God for the SAF. Keep up the great work and the good fight to you too Lee!

This is what happens when schools are designated gun-free zones. People are triggered. Even if a particular school district does not support a “gun-free” zone, they are still triggered. Someone saw a deer hunter during hunting season near a rural school where there are forests. You guessed it…a school lockdown occurred. Kids were needlessly traumatized. I went to a football game in a different district that is farther out into forested areas of the state, and we could hear hunters bagging prey. No one on the bleachers raised an eyebrow. If teachers and school employees were trained to protect themselves and students as licensed concealed carry personnel, we wouldn’t have these dumb events. Violent criminals would be thwarted by gun trained staff.

c Anderson, I'm happy to report my old HS now has a prominent sign posted outside the doors proclaiming 'teachers & staff' may be armed. Made me proud. It's been 50 years since I last set foot in my HS. Like the old saying goes- Don't Mess With Texas since that's where my HS is located!

There are only 5 JROTC High School programs in my blue state and I wonder if they even allow marching with replication rifles anymore? I remember when the cadets would practice spinning their wooden rifles.

I’d imagine the hoplaphobes at the sight of wooden parade rifles would be seeking a safe space at those high schools. I’d like to say something a bit crude about these hoplaphobes, but decorum prevents me from doing so…

This happened to me personally when I was in high school. Southwestern Pennsylvania.

Way to go HCSD, waste some more of the citizens' tax money defending your WOKE, knee-jerk, actions. Of course, thanks to Florida law, Ayres will have to come out-of-pocket to hire his own attorney. There are a couple of "UNWOKE" members on the school board. Hopefully, they will convince the rest of the board to settle this quickly.

The schoolmastet is going to get schooled on the finer points of 790. Maybe he can write off the $5K penalty as education expense.

fully support your law suit. Keep the faith!

Nothing is more apt to personify ideological idiocy and total absence of common sense more acutely than an academic, especially an administrative academic.

I am interested to know more about how this is possible retribution against the PRINCIPAL since she “went to bat for J.S.”.

The paragraph is indeed confusing. After reading it carefully a few times, I believe it portrays the principal as gaslighting the student's family with, "Because I'm on your side, I managed to get the penalty down to ONLY a suspension." When, of course, no penalty was appropriate at all.

Priorities…?

The FortifyFl app is a bit of an overkill IMO. Students reporting perceived “threats” through an app is just way too convenient. 🤦🏼‍♀️ If the principal doesn’t immediately act on the information, and someone is harmed, they become liable. The app reminds me of somebody snitched on me. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoOJNw0UKDQ

"Officer, I found them laying on the ground walking to school. I picked them up because they are brass, and we are so broke because of Biden's economy, our family collects all scrap metal to sell for money to buy food". A few brass casings are worth more than a pile of beer cans. That's what I would have told them. This is like the school that expelled a kindergarten student because he ate his pop tart into the shape of a pistol. These people are going overboard. Get over it. We are an armed people nationally, and no other country wants to invade us because of it. Our own government has grown to dislike it, because they know why we have the 2nd Amendment, and it's not for hunting or self defense. Do not trust a politician who does not trust the people with guns. At any level of elected office.

"We are an armed people nationally, and no other country wants to invade us because of it."

Now reconcile that with this:

"It prohibits ... clothing and jewelry that suggest or imply weapons and/or ammunition."

Time to collect some woke scalps. (Extra points for green and purple!)

Here's hoping for a positive outcome for the SAF and the student involved...these holier-than-thou pinheads need to learn their lesson!

Under Massachusetts' 50-year-old Bartley Fox law, this kid would have been a criminal on or off school property... and (if you don't have a gun license) so would you.

Your kid crosses through someplace someone else was shooting, sees a casing, says, "What's this?" and picks it up and takes it home... instant criminal record.

That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

Perhaps you should educate yourself on FortifyFL a bit more. When I say perhaps, I mean you should.

Is it as vague as your comment?

No, but it does require reading.
