Third Graders Plotted to Kill Teacher

No, this isn't an April Fool's joke. Unless the whole internet is conspiring against me.
At an elementary school in Waycross, Georgia, about nine third-grade students plotted to kill their teacher. A bag was found at the school containing items such as a steak knife and duct tape, after a girl tipped off staff members about a weapon on school. Three of the students were have thought to have led the plot, the others in the group apparently didn't think they were seriously.

If even third-graders are thinking of going to measures this extreme, that shows something about our society. I don't support any kind of censorship, but I do agree that the media likes to glorify violence, and it's affecting 9-year olds! I don't know what we can do about this... It seems like no one can strike a middle ground anymore. Most people have become god-worshiping extremist evangelicals, or people who don't care about a shred of decency at all.
