Re: My kid's school district just called with a recorded message that said the creepiest thing....UPDATE: New msg
I thank you for posting this OP. This is very important & the schools need to recognize that there are people out there that truly believe that the world is going to end. I still recall Y2K panic and I recall those people from Hail Bob- the ones that put on purple sneakers. Unstable people are lacking on rational thoughts & lack of rational thoughts leads to irrational behavior. People scare me, not people but due to the PC attitude of trying to please all, I feel that safety has lapsed.

So did you also see that Pueblo public schools went on lock down right after the shooting in CT these things are very creepy. On lock down you can't even pick up your student. This is one of the many reasons I pulled my kids from public school and started homeschooling. hiding
 Quoting: Playto19


I believe it was a "precautionary" lock-down and it was a bit of a hassle but I picked my kids up within an hour after the shooting in CT.

I did find it rather disturbing that they were doing this HALFWAY across the country...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28406998



Ok I didn't realize there was a difference, I have friends whose children go to public school, they found a bomb in a house within a block of their school and they were informed that they were on lock down and told his kids couldn't be picked up. If it would have been me the sheriff would have to come pick me up because I would have tried to grab my kids and been gone. BTW the bomb was big enough to take out the whole block.

Not weird if the superintendent and the teachers are GLP'ers.

Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

As it already has! I seriously think this is the case. Some of these people have bought into it and figure why the hell not do what they want whether it be suicide, mass murder, robbery hey if the world is gonna end why the hell not.

"Due to the recent shootings and the Mayan calender doomsday media coverage, the ****** School District will be taking additional safety precautions. All entries to the school will remained locked during school hours and emergency drills will be canceled. Additional emotional support and counseling will be available to the students."

I haven't got the creeps like this since the 1989 SF earthquake when the radio went silent and the air-raid whistles went off.


Why add the Mayan stuff with the shooting?

At least they're locking all entries to the school.

I've never understood why schools don't do that any way. Buzz people in or whatever but keep the doors locked during school hours.

Both my daughter's school in Virginia (she's a teacher) and the schools at which I volunteer in Maryland have locked doors, buzzers, positive video ID. This was put in place right after 9/11.

But as to the original post, it would seem that the message of fear has been propagated far and wide. People are closing up their hearts in a time when they should be opening them: to God, to each other. Isolation is now the norm.

We desperately need to re-think something things -- some deep things -- as soon as possible.
We become like that to which we are devoted. - Choose wisely.
