Georgia students suspended for taking photos of crowded school hallway

The school decided that a possible death sentence was better than suspending.

Not sure if this has been posted yet : Days after photos of packed hallways go viral, Paulding high school reports 9 COVID-19 cases

One might imagine that the district's lawyers had a long chat with school administrators about the whole "how not to get sued" thing.

I would imagine it would have been a very short very unpleasant chat.

At least two students say they have been suspended at North Paulding High School in Georgia for posting photos of crowded hallways that went viral on Twitter.

One of the teens who posted photos, 15-year-old Hannah Watters, told BuzzFeed News she received a five-day, out-of-school suspension for posting one photo and one video on Twitter.

Watters said she was pulled into the school's office around noon on Wednesday and was told she had violated the student code of conduct.

"The policies I broke stated that I used my phone in the hallway without permission, used my phone for social media, and posting pictures of minors without consent," she said.

On Wednesday, an intercom announcement at the school from principal Gabe Carmona said any student found criticizing the school on social media could face discipline.

5 day suspension for taking a picture of students (almost entirely from the back) at a school? Discipline for criticizing the school? This is baloney.

The photo shown in various news media shows the students from behind. If they aren't other photos from the front, some of the dangers discussed here seem to be non-existent.

It is very important to teach to impressionable young people that ratting out one's superiors and making administration look bad is a punishable offense.

Conscience is a disease that needs to be stamped out, like mankind as a whole.

Asked during a news briefing Monday how the study published by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association affected his opinion that students should return to classrooms, Trump said young people were not at risk of extreme infection or death. He went on to confirm that he thinks children are immune.

“I think, for the most part, they do very well,” Trump said of children. “They don’t catch it easily, they don’t get very sick, and according to the people I’ve spoken to, they don’t transport or transfer it to other people, or certainly not easily.”

Trump has no idea what he's talking about, when it comes to COVID-19 and many things. And pretends he does. Trump needs to keep his mouth shut about COVID-19. And lets the experts talk. To bad he doesn't .He's cost to many lives over COVID-19 and a lot of confusion to his supporters.

...it seems young Donald was paying someone to take his World History exams:

President Donald Trump weighed in Monday on the similarities between current COVID-19 circumstances and those experienced during a flu pandemic a century ago.

“In 1917 ... the great pandemic certainly was a terrible thing where they lost anywhere from 50 to 100 million people,” the president noted about the 1918 flu pandemic.

“Probably ended the Second World War, all the soldiers were sick. That was a terrible situation.”

Trump says 1918 flu pandemic ‘probably ended the Second World War,’ which ended in 1945

The 1918 flu ended the 2nd World War, and the patriots took over the airports in the Revolutionary War.

Trump is better at history than anyone.

There is nothing wrong with “ratting out” superiors when they are in the wrong. Frankly this worthless superintendent should have been fired. I would love to meet this guy face to face so I could tell him what I think of him.

If the meddling kid just stayed quite they'd have gotten away it. Why does that sound familiar.

Three different schools districts are under quarantine including the one the girl who took the photo goes to.

They had exposure to covid-19 and they got shut down.
