We have to take this seriously! Clearly this boy poses a threat to our nation! These kids these days treat their pet dinosaurs like chattel! I read a story about a kid who kept his pet dinosaur as a sex slave for visiting pirate people! You have no idea how brutal those pirate people are! You can cower all you want over those ISIS people, but just wait until the Pirate people sail into your bay!

I thank the teacher for her courage to report this incident. We need teachers like this in NC schools who deserve their pay increases for strong morals and upholding of the law and bringing down dangers to our children. I for one and seemingly alone think that the life of any dinosaur should not be made light of or threatened by a punk thug in a creative writing class. This is how all lawlessness begins...under the guise of free thinking and imagination.

My name is Robert and I support dinosaurs and apples.

Sincerely,

Bob for Apples

"The information that is being reported is grossly incorrect in reference to what led to the juvenile being charged," said Capt. Jon Rogers in a Summeville police statement released on Thursday."The charges do not stem from anything involving a dinosaur or writing assignment, but the student's conduct."

So we might not be getting the whole story. I bet folks who make Mike Brown a villain. Would be supporting this kid.

And in both cases we don't know the details.

There's some crazy things going on in schools everywhere.
Always something in the news void of anything close to common sense.

I read today, a girl was suspended by her teacher for saying "bless you" when a classmate sneezed.

Common Sense is on it's last legs.
