    “Christian private school”

    So much for the whole “we need prayer back in schools” argument.

      Yeah, what the hell? Didn’t they not have the 10 Commandments posted prominently in every room? I have been assured that doing so would prevent this sort of thing.

        Needs to be the Ten Commandments on body armor. Something with spall lining otherwise the slab will fracture and send bits into them.

        Let’s require the 10 commandments be posted on every sensible gun regulation bill so they’ll get bipartisan support.
