Bomb threats...

---------

In our county in the two months, my school (high school), one middle school, and one elementary school all on the same side of town have been having repeated bomb threats...all made by telephone....and threatening letters were written to several teachers in the middle school.

You know how everyone is quick to blame students....
well, yesterday the middle school received another call...but this time, they caught the person who made the call... it was a teacher in that middle school. When he called, he made the statement that he had planted a bomb because "he hated them all and he was going to kill them all"...

He had his cell phone with him and used it to make the call...and they were able to trace the call.

He had only been with that school since January...before that he taught in Washington, DC...and passed a criminal background check.

I would never have thought a teacher would do something like this...
