Let's look at this rationally.
This was not a school-sanctioned event. It didn't happen on school grounds, during school hours, and it had nothing to do with school activities. What is the school supposed to do? Obviously they knew when it was going to happen, if what AXJules is telling us is true. But so did the police, according to what she says. But nobody knew where it was supposed to take place. So how could the school have prevented it?
The school is telling us that it couldn't have stopped this because the second it admits that it had anything to do with it, they open themselves up to a flood of lawsuits. Which is -- in my opinion, at least -- ridiculous. Why should the school be held responsible? It had nothing to do with the school. It had to do with these kids, and they are the ones who should be punished.
Schools should not be responsible for punishing children for what they do outside of school. That should be up to the law. That's what it's there for.
