I cross mine - was taught to do it in computer programming classes so there wouldn't be mistakes interpreting hand-written notes.
That was my first thought when reading this. Notice the post card says 10-10? The the one thing that may point to this being a hoax is the Perfect Day scenario requires complete surprise. Al-Queda announcing the date is not their MO. One can only hope this is a stupid prank.
“Yep, that seems like American high-schoolers.”
From PUBLIC HS of course.
Do not leave one child behind, but if you have to, stop the progress of all other children.
Let’s respond with postcards (of pigs) to our local mosques with a “Mecca- Nuke” message on the back.
..And then wait and see how long before the uproar starts in the media!
Whoa - this is disturbing.
Pinging others as well.

Very strange. I looked at the postcards. Some were tourist postcards, collected from different sites in Florida, and two of them appeared to be rather feminine looking note cards (the type of blank cards you can buy in a museum gift shop or high-end stationery store). One was a water color of a cat on a chair in a garden, and the other was a somewhat whimsical looking thing that appeared to be on hand-made or special paper with fibers in it. Odd choice of jihadi writing materials.
Each one has: 9-11 ? 10-10
Leftists accuse conservatives for using “scare tactics” to gain/keep power.
Whenever I hear this argument, I tell the pansy that I know theirs will be the first voice whining that “Bush didn’t protect them” when an attack happens.
Ping to #8 please
The Marion County public schools also had bomb threats last year. Like now, the students were not allowed to bring backpacks to school.
This is the statement published on the school board’s web page:
SCHOOLS RETURN TO NORMAL SCHEDULES
September 11, 2007
Marion County
Public schools throughout Marion County return to normal schedules tomorrow, Wednesday, September 12.
This means students will be allowed to carry backpacks and book bags. The one exception is Dunnellon Middle School, which – as a general policy – does not allow these items. Parents will be alerted of the return to normal schedules with a district-wide telephone call this evening.
Thanks to the positive response of parents, students, and district employees, today was calm throughout Marion County’s 46 public schools. Only a handful of backpacks and book bags were confiscated because those students did not receive word of the district’s ban on them today. Attendance district-wide was down about three percent from normal, with 3,319 students absent today.
Several schools received written threats on Monday which were mailed directly to the schools referencing today’s anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Agencies continuing to investigate include the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, Ocala Police Department, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the U.S. Postmaster, and the FBI.
Anyone with information on the written threats should call Crime Stoppers of Marion County at 368-STOP (368-7867). They can remain anonymous and may receive a reward up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible.

One can only hope this was a stupid prank. High Schools do not fit the scenario of the Perfect day - where they would want boys to young to fight back and girls old enough to rape like Jr High or Elementary. Announcing the date (10-10) does not fit the Perfect day plan either. Still If I had a student in one of these districts, I would be very very concerned.
Glen Beck has been reporting on the alleged threat to our children in schools around the nation.
Yah, the crossing is either euro (if they do that) or computer training. I learned to cross numbers also doing computer work.
What do you think the 10-10 means? Be careful on October 10th?
I remember seeing that 9/11 terrorist calendar. I’ve been searching for it but no luck.
Someone needs to repost this message under the thread we had a few days ago, where some people were saying we “shouldn’t worry”.... while we were asking what our schools are doing to protect from this sort of thing. Apparently.. nothing
