NEWPORT NEWS — The Newport News Education Association President condemned the premise of the school division’s motion to dismiss Abigail Zwerner’s pending $40 million lawsuit.
The motion was filed last week by attorneys representing the School Board and argues that Zwerner, who was shot in her classroom at Richneck Elementary in January by a 6-year-old student, is only entitled to file a worker’s compensation claim because the injury she sustained from the shooting is a “workplace injury,” and that the shooting was a hazard of the job.
Those nra talking points also conveniently ignore that, ever increasingly, military doctrines are acknowledging that automatic fire in a rifle is largely pointless and should be avoided outside of very specific circumstances.
But hey. The biggest issue with kids and teachers being murdered is the terminology used.
