According to this school profile
http://www.publicschoolreview.com/school_ov/school_id/79003

Betsy Ross Elementary School is
37% Hispanic
61% Black
1% White
and
1% Unknown.

Looks like it was more than likely a diversity shooting.

I guess there was something to the “correction of disposition” as my Dad called it. We had a healthy fear of being “chastised”. :)

Put the freakin guns owner in jail for at least a year! Who allows a six year old access to a loaded gun?

Chill out. He probably broke into someone else's house and stole it. Maybe a stretch, but it's an example where the gun owner wouldn't (shouldn't) be held responsible

With tears in his eyes he told me that he is throwing in the towel and moving his practice.

If that Mayor had won the governor's office, he'd have turned the whole State into "Houston".

Had this occurred in other areas with other demographics, you might have had a point.

Probably space aliens that go around sticking guns in the pockets of 6 year old boys.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

What if it was a tossed gun? Not owned by students family?

I have yet to see who owned or where gun came from.

HOW DOES A 6 YEAR OLD HAVE ACCESS TO A GUN????????????

Pray for America, we’re in a revolution. Look at what happened in Madison on Saturday.
