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.
