US teachers shot in school is considered ‘workplace injury’ and that shootings is a hazard of the job
| James Graves, the president of the Newport News teachers union, says that argument is “ridiculous.”
“This is not military, this is not the police department. This is an education system,” Graves said in an interview Wednesday.
“These lawyers have started a significant hurricane in our district by saying that being shot is part of what teachers signed up for.”
| Graves said all school staff who work with students, including security officers and custodial workers, have expressed concern about the motion.
“This has been an emotional roller coaster ride to me and to all the teachers,” he said. “Teachers are very upset and they’re coming out strong. They have woken up a bear.”
Graves called on all school staff to attend upcoming board meetings.
| The filing from the board’s attorney last week states that it is the “unfortunate reality” that teaching in America is a profession not without its dangers.

| I really do wonder how long until this system crumbles. Sometimes I feel like my home country is on a path of national suicide.

I wonder the same. Sometimes it feels like it's gonna get worse before it gets better. Sometimes it feels like it's gonna get worse and worse until it reaches a breaking point and we'll irreversibly lose it all.
I hate greed so fucking much. I genuinely believe that the rich peoples desire for profit is the cause behind the majority of the problems that the world is facing today.

| Abigail 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.
