Elementary school teacher Lina McLean has filed a lawsuit against the school administration, school board members, and security company all responsible for the outrageous school shooting "drill" that surprised her on April 26, 2013.
A man dressed in a black hoodie and goggles suddenly burst through her classroom door. He leveled a pistol at McLean's face and pulled the trigger. The terrified teacher heard gunfire, smelled smoke, felt her heart racing, she says.
"You're dead," the gunman said, and stalked out of her room.
The levels of stupidity and criminal misbehavior of such a drill are bewildering. But this is why the Pine Eagle School District is getting sued now. If you need a refresher on how horrendous this was you can take a quick peek at Jen Hayden's diary from 2013. The "drill" took place a few months after the terrible events in Sandy Hook, CT. McLean says she suffers from PTSD now. She thought she was dead.
"Panic ensued," according to McLean's lawsuit. One teacher wet her pants. Another teacher tried to keep Minarich from entering his room and scuffled with the school board member, leaving the teacher's arm injured. Some teachers fell down trying to hide. [...]
"McLean could not figure out what was going on," the complaint alleges. "She felt very confused. Her heart was racing. She walked out of the classroom and saw a pistol lying on the ground. ... She wondered if she was really shot and was going to die."
For an instant, McLean alleges, she thought perhaps it was OK to die. Then she thought about her daughter, who was pregnant, and grew angry that she wouldn't be around to help with the new baby.
everyone above that teacher should be fired that is the most egregious thing to do to a teacher and a grade school teacher at that with all the peeing and fear and heart palpitations of teachers and staff there is not a word mentioned about the children why????? i thought the idea was to get guns out of schools this is an obvious attempt to show their thinking is that more need to be in the school if the teachers were scared crapless by the intrusion what would be different if they were strapped too???
this obviously given timing was a action by NRA and their right wing gun nuts supporting guns in class.
