School threats made on social media have made headlines recently. A Michigan school shooter posted videos that many saw as warnings. Last week some students at a Jefferson City middle school made threats on social media. And on Thursday, schools across the country were reacting to a TikTok school threat challenge. Show Less

Law enforcement needs to investigate all of these threats on social media. If the threat turns out to be not credible then serious fines need to be imposed. These kinds of threats are not a joking matter these days

Adam Schrader

It's a shame that this stupid time tok thing isn't being forced to shut down.

Brandi Lucas Henderson

It happens all too often these days to just completely dismiss it. I held my girls back in Ashland until I spoke to the school regarding rumors that had been circulating here. They went in just a bit late, bit we're still a bit on edge.

Social Media, manipulates those with small minds. So does CNN, and other MSM.

Tik Talk needs to be shut down. They are encouraging young people to commit violet crime and destroy public properties.

Most of the threats have not been credible. Local schools say the TikTok challenge had produced no local, specific threats as of Thursday evening.

But most K-12 school districts have kept snow days. Districts program extra days into the school calendar to plan for inclement weather.

Teachers and administrators like days off too.

These types of situations are not political. Are there some politics involved? The answer is yes. When it comes to threats the political side of it doesn't matter. Threats have legal conciseness that come with them and can be very serious. The Justice Dept needs to get into threat investigations

Mary Ann Bittle

It's definitely ~very~ political, sadly. The MO GQP (formerly GOP) is really intent on protecting their KKK White Supremacist activities; no way they'd want to have qualified investigators involved.

HazmatTravis

When there are dangerous White Supremecists making threats at our the most local levels of government, yes, somebody should do something about it.

Max

We are so fortunate that this socialist Garland did not get selected for the SCOTUS.

School board members should not be threatened because of differences of opinion. People should learn to disagree in a more civilized manner

They are already stretched too thin, while harassing Americans for other reasons.

Lisa Gore

The MO school board association yesterday separated from the NSBA who owes millions in backtaxes while Biden’s admin gave the leader of corrupt NBSA a high level position in his cabinet. Merrick Garland head of Justice Department’s son has a company promoting CRT. It’s personal Conflict of Interest!

Adam Schrader

Doj has enough other things to look into. Trump, Steve Bannon, Proud Boys, etc.
