It is a catch-22 because on one hand if I had kids I would want their school keeping scumbags out. However I want the main function of school to be teaching my kids math and english not telling them they can’t play with knives off school grounds like the school officials are playing surrogate parents.
Expel them? The school didn’t have the guts to remove the killers from the yearbook!

Well, “expulsion” from school is generally related to activities during school or school-based extracurricular activities. I’m not sure what would be accomplished by having educrats jump through some administrative hoops to formally “expel” these students, as long as there’s no risk of their actually returning to a regular school. It’s not like the absence of an expulsion on their school transcripts is going to give them a leg up on future employment or college admission — failing to complete regular high school because you were away serving a prison term for murder is kind of a deal killer for any meaningful employment or post-secondary education.
I heard. Shows the way the New Hampshire school system functions. I thought New Hampshire was conservative. What went wrong?
Souhegan High School is in Amherst, a white affluent liberal town in southern NH.
Same town whose middle school hosted a Saudi Night in 2007:

And where American teachers instruct their American students on how to be good Muslims:

“Hrmm... well I see here you did a few years for murder... hrmm... member of the debate club very good... wait! What’s this? You don’t have a diploma or GED? This interview is over!”
Since when were there liberals in New Hampshire? What happened to “live free or die?”
Where have you been?
In the NH State Senate and House, the 2006 election gave Democrats majority control of both chambers for the first time since 1874, 14-10 in the Senate and 239-161 in the House. (Wikipedia)
The Governor, one Senator, and both Congresscritters are Dems.
The collapse of The Old Man Of the Mountain in 2003 was an omen...
I have to ask if the school would be able to get away with this if there weren’t any Dems in office there. If New Hampshire had a GOP legislature all four of those bastards would have been hung by now.
No kidding!
The murder was a shock to the folks who though they’d be safe away from the city.
I work with folks who were neighbors of the victims, whose teenagers were classmates of the perps, and who had the perps as guests in their homes when their kids were growing up.
So why is New Hampshire a haven for libs now? I thought the whole state was red through and through where you could carry a gun everywhere and not get stopped by cops.
Agreed. I don’t want the school to be involved in things off campus. Take your kid to a firing range? Expulsion. Your child takes a tylenol without a doctors script? Expulsion or suspension. He has a fight with the neighbor’s kid? Expulsion or suspension. The legal system needs to deal with legal problems not the school.
School is school, public is public.
One of the young men has pleaded guilty, I have no problem with him being expelled for his crime. The other, charged with murder, is still awaiting trial. Expulsion is improper until he is found guilty.
In any case, the young men are in jail so they don’t present any threat to the school. This is just a paper shuffle to see who will pay for the students GED.
Schools should not be playing nanny. But I’m still torn on whether or not the school should have expelled these dirtbags. But it probably is a moot point since both are in prison awaiting trial.
Yes. My question is why these kids are in school and not in jail.
It shouldn’t even be an issue.
