Teenage girl and her boyfriend from Massachusetts were suspended from their school because of posting on face books pictures of them holding airsoft rifles. The girl Jamie and her boyfriend Tito Velez both meant no harm when they posted the picture on Facebook. Believed why it is such a big scandal is because the caption "homecoming" was right below the picture, getting the school officials involved.
It would be different it they wear using threatening words as the caption to the picture, but they are not . Like it said, it was an innocent and stupid mistake. Officials are blowing this all out of proportions due to guns being a very controversial aspect in our lives right now. This just comes to show us how careful we need to be when we post pictures on the enternet.

No i think they should have been suspended. It was an implied that they were going to show up to homecoming with the intention of harm. Obviously it was a joke but with recent school shootings its not something to be taken lightly
ReplyDeleteI don't think that's something to joke about, given the rise in shootings its insensitive and raises suspicion. They should suck it up and handle the consequences.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't a joke to do that. The student deserves the suspension because they implied their point. They know it is wrong. Quentin Noble 2
