Lake Stevens teacher on leave after shooting remark
A Lake Stevens high-school teacher is being investigated by the school district after students say he told them he should take anyone who was talking in class and line them up against a wall and shoot them. The Lake Stevens School District said it placed the teacher on paid administrative leave and launched an investigation Tuesday after the mother of one of the students complained to the school principal. She said her daughter was berated in class Monday for not paying attention, and when some other students came to her defense, the teacher made his remark.

How the Chief Educator still has a job is one of the great mysteries of our time. Threaten to shoot the kids? Hell, I have it on good authority that the Chief Educator has actually fired warning shots in the air to get a kid’s attention in class. And let’s not even talk about the incident last year with the fire hose, or the year before with the Indian burns.
