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.

    You can call yourself whatever you want. You are taking a strong conservative stance on gun control and, the fact that this is at the expense of children and teachers… says a lot.

    Again, other countries have had no problems getting rid of firearms. And there are ways to stage and phase things out. Rather than just waiting for the utopia to start while hoping parents buy kevlar and flak jackets for their teachers along with the spare markers.

    Also: Again, if I were to think of a “ghoul” it would be someone who felt the need to rush into a discussion of how gun control might actually help with “You are a teacher. Getting shot is part of the job” with “BUT MY GUNS!!!”.

    Nah, you know what, you can have “ghoul”. Because the word for someone like that is on a whole different level.

      Well, you’re clearly not listening to what I’m actually saying, and instead arguing points that don’t even apply.

      Conservatives, and particularly neoconservatives, don’t have a monopoly on the concept of armed citizens. Try googling the phrase “if you go far enough left you get your guns back”

      Until you can repeat back to me what that means, I think it’s pretty clear you’re a sentiment bot or shill of some kind.
