We are working right now on the news that a 15-year-old male student at Monroe High School has confessed to writing a threatening note that led to the evacuation of the school on March 30. The school and police made separate announcements today.
Will this be the break that helps end the series of threats found at the high school and Monroe Middle School?
Ending those threats is the subject of this weeks news poll question online. Our question asks: What do you think is the best way to bring the recent rash of threats at Monroe High School and Middle School to and end?
Nearly 100 people have responded already, and the top answer so far is to offer a reward for information. Not far behind is to curtail privileges for all students until information is divulged. If you havent already voted, go to our home page and do so. It should be interesting.
Last weeks poll results were interesting in that they were so lopsided. The question was whether you agree with a state Assembly bill that would force schools to change their nickname, mascot, logo or even school name if the state superintendent deems it offensive.
Lets just say the bill is not popular with most of those who voted in the poll. Out of 417 votes, 379 people said they do not agree with the bill. Thats about 91 percent. That percentage probably is in line with the reader comments and letters to the editor we have received, as well. Still, the bill seems poised to be passed by the Democratic-controlled Assembly.
Interesting.
