Okay im not posting this just to spam thehighroad. I do however, have questions about it.

Okay one, this article is false, my highschool did not warn the students of the threat, if they had, i would have heard it, and if not through them then through my peers. So if they had gotten a letter or seen writing on the walls like said, why wouldnt they warn us? Do they want us to be ignorant to chance that our lives might be at stake? Even though this threat is most likely false, it doesn't mean it can't happen. Should students not go to school?

In the paper today it said that the principal e-mailed parents. I understand that it was written on a bathroom wall and it is probably insignificant, but I think that the administration needs to take things a little more seriously.

And an officer will be stationed inside the school tomorrow.

For those who don't know, the high school is 6 floors and has somewhere around 2100 people in it. One officer won't be able to do much unless the threat is very close to him.

We had a similar problem at the high school, last month bomb threats were called in from 3 different pay phones.
The school was locked down each time, police, k9 and the Union county bomb squad were called .
Parents were furious they weren't notified and the kids were not allowed to leave.
The school kept the kids late because of lost class time.
Thankfully nothing was found, but I think evacuation instead of lock down is more in order for a bomb threat.
