techno900, are you the lone Republican in this nation that doesn't support states rights? It's hard to believe that you're so wound up about California's business from 2500 miles away. Why not be thankful for what you've got in North Carolina and just chill.

Do some research Teach. A red flag law requires a judicial determination that a person should not possess a weapon and permits siezure of the same under certain due process requirements. Namely, notice and an opportunity to be heard in a court of law. It is about gun possession only. That's somewhat different from the legislation we have been discussing which pertains to educators making reports to law enforcement for behaviors incuding, but not limited to many behaviors other than those which would trigger a red flag law. As you appear to have a difficult time grasping the difference, I shall refain from further comment as it is a waste of my time. Have fun with your box of crayons, you seem to have a penchant for coloring things.

When you get your daily dose of adrenaline and outrage by reading Breitbart, and you don't bother to think, you are sentenced to live in North Carolina next to a pig shit lagoon.

I don't think that techno900 understands the value of providing some reasonable discretion to authorities in applying our laws and issuing penalites, particularly when minors are involved.

As we've found out over the years with more draconian 3 strikes provisions, when sentencing repeat offenders running awry of the law, the extent of applying suitable punishment isn't necessarily that cut and dried, or always in the best interest of all parties concerned. Often it can make sense to have some discretion in judging and defining punishment.

It has to be remembered that the US incarcates more folks than any other nation. That isn't something that we should be proud about, but I think that must be lost on so many "law and order" Republicans. Sadly, we spend more on prisons and mass incarcation than we spend on education.

Techno

Have you read the proposed law? Do you have any experience interpreting laws and codes? I'm a "code jockey". I read and apply codes for a living (building codes in my case). It is always amazing to me how folks can read what they want in a code or regulation when they have little training and don't understand the intent.

techno900,

I thought we were talking about student threats to teachers and school administrators. How does students selling narcotics fit in with what we we discussing? It doesn't. You're quickly losing ground here creating nonsense.

Regarding any student caught selling narcotics on school grounds, the offense would reported to the police, regardless of a student's ethnicity. The same would be true for students found with guns on school grounds.
