Guess how many threats by students have been investigated in Colorado's five largest school districts so far this year. 400. Guess how many of those were deemed "the highest level of concern." 40. So, how about Karl Pierson the recent killer at Arapahoe High School who made a threat in September against the debate coach. Was that threat considered "the highest level of concern?" Arapahoe High School administrators won't say. Why won't they? Who is covering for whom? They won't even release threat numbers to the Denver Post, although all their neighboring districts have done so. Law enforcement is also silent. To me, it smells like one more cover up.
Zahira Torres of the Denver Post is on the story. She writes,
Earlier this year, the federal government released guidelines intended to limit strict school discipline policies that may disproportionately push minority students into the criminal justice system.
That would be our friends Eric Holder and Barack Obama, once again.
Torres writes an excellent piece here about the threat assessment process and its history. I am glad a reporter is on the case. One of the security guards at Arapahoe is blowing the whistle on the bureaucrats who run the school.
