Constitutional Law

Beyond belief....

A letter to the editor from a Boston teacher, regarding school shootings. He argues that speedy evacuation of an attacked school is just unfair, because it "unfairly rewards resourceful children who move to safety off-site more shrewdly and efficiently than others. Schools should level playing fields, not intrinsically reward those more resourceful. A level barrel is fair to all fish."

As far as self-defense, "I would sooner lay my child to rest than succumb to the belief that the use of a gun for self-defense is somehow not in itself a gun crime."

UPDATE: I am relieved to see, as illustrated by the comments, that this fellow's writings are probably satire. I must admit I wonder if the newspaper realized that!

Hat tip to reader David McCleary...
