Life isn't fair.
That's the hard lesson that the Charleston County School Board has taught a student expelled from the School of the Arts. She drove her mother's car to school. It had a gun locked in the center console.
Does anybody else wonder how many guns are locked up (or not!) in cars parked or picking up students at Charleston County schools?
You betcha.
The Board has entered full grandstanding mode this month in response to furor over the latest school shooting. It refused the common sense of the relevant constituent board, deciding that it must make an example of this student.
Sending a message, so to speak.
If the incident had happened a couple of months earlier, this teen would be back in school after a suspension.
We get the message, all right: the Board is going to grandstand about guns until the next round of "national conversation" focuses elsewhere. This teen was in the cross hairs.
