Threatening speech isn't free. We don't have true free speech.

What is the school suppose to do? If they do nothing, then they take shit for not recognizing the issue soon enough when kids go fucking ape shit. If they go overboard cautious, then they take shit for going overboard. They are fucked either way.

Yelling, "Pay Attention!" only works short term.

Right that makes perfect sense. I'm sure you can just talk the kid's brain into better dopamine production. Someone ought to apply this technique on amputees

It helped my child. You can help them learn how to manage the distractions through activities.

But I only have firsthand experience with this, what the hell do I know right?

I'm confused. The school says he wasnt deemed a threat and sent back to class but then after they decided to have him arrested?

I'm sorry, I think this is total BS. I understand the reasoning Trip gave, but all the authorities had to do was talk to his therapist to find out that this was what he was told to do instead of disrupting class or attacking the teacher physically. He was actually doing as he was told. If they are so stupid as to arrest this child, why dont they arrest the therapist for telling him to do it in the first place?

What kid at some point hasn't wanted or fantazied about something bad happening to an adult, be it teacher or parent? Or told their parents they wish they were dead or some crap?
