Student’s age-old prank did not rise to the level of a crime

For refusing to “snitch,” he was threatened with being placed on a level three discipline, and possibly even arrest. A note was sent for his mother to come in, which she did. They likened his “crime” to a person witnessing a bank robbery and by not “snitching” becoming an accessory to the crime. She refused to sign the discipline sheet and must now meet with the principal.

What is wrong with this picture? I see plenty wrong with it. Do you?

  1. Can you imagine what a living hell this kids life would have been had he snitched? If the school had their big brother camera's on this kid, why weren't they on the kids who pulled the prank? If they weren't in the camera, how did they know that he saw them? I think the school is passing the buck on this one for their own incompetence.

    Jeff Mincey However broad or narrow our political landscape, and by whatever names our politics may be known, the governance of civil society essentially comes down to two competing views and orientations. One is that we help ourselves best by helping each other. The other is that we help ourselves best by helping only ourselves.
