A Minnesota public high school was so committed to obeying its fire drill policy to the exact letter of the law that it forced a female student

People that run our public schools for the most part have no common sense. They only know following policies that were negotiated by their union.

[cripplecreek]

In this situation common sense would have sufficed unfortunately bureaustocracy doesn’t do common sense.

[Blood of Tyrants]

All authority has been taken from the teachers and they have been taught to blindly follow orders. The result is stupidity squared.

[ClearCase_guy]

I would demand a personal interview with the school people in charge.

I'll say no more than that.

[ozzymandus]

Big frigging lawsuit.

[jsanders2001]

Looks like the student my end up owning the school....

If I were on the civil-suit jury, I'd find for the girl… it is unacceptable that they should be injured in (and by) a procedure [ostensibly] for their safety.

“Academics” are often the most narrow-minded, bureaucratic, and obtuse people you will ever meet.

It seems to be a paradox, but the times have given it proof.

"...routinely reviews policies..."

*snort* there's part of the problem.

[2ndDivisionVet]

This is when I regret not going to law school.

[Stingray51]

There should be a criminal investigation, in my opinion

[Chode]

she was the only one? what about the rest of her class???

[DManA]

St. Paul teachers came very close to striking - mostly for the children's sake (and more money).

[cripplecreek]

What’s to review?

Its freakin cold, shes wet and in a bathing suit. Get her in a warm car.

These people are morons.

[Ken H]

They should be fired and prosecuted for child endangerment. Prison time for these gd idiots. And sue the district for million$.

[Joe 6-pack]

In my opinion any school faculty or administrator involved in this should be sent to winter training with the ROK army...

[bigtoona]

People are so brainwashed now to where they no longer can think for themselves. They stand idle waiting for the ‘authorities’ to tell them what to do when something falls outside of the standard procedure. If the girl was on fire they would call the fire dept. And wait while she burned to death.

[doc1019]

I would suggest that if she gets the right lawyer, her college education will be more than paid for.

Yup. It looks good on paper so you folks can ride the results into the ground. (Kinda like the democrats and Obamacare)

[EDINVA]

Keyona is going to own that school district, as she should. Idiots.
