My understanding of the event is that the parent calmly asked the principal: “Please do your job.”
That is deemed an act of terrorism by the Rochester Public Schools.

I have 2 kids that attend Gage and was not aware of anything. So nice that they tell the parents of students about something like that!

Careful not to protest too loud. You may find a SWAT team out your front door :)

It’s obvious that the parent in question is racist.

There was nothing calm about this guy. He had made threats against the school, and the school acted appropriately.

Parents should realize that when they enter government schools that they need to be very careful in their mannerisms.
The school does not like parents interfering with their indoctrination of the their children.
By the way; I never hear of the private schools going to lockdown mode in Rochester. RCLS, Lourdes, St.Johns,St.Francis,etc..

Apollo you need to get out more. Lockdowns happens at public and private schools. Usually it isn’t a newsworthy story....as this story isn’t all that newsworthy either.

I stand to be corrected in regards to private schools.
Why this item regarding Gage was newsworthy, is an example of the PB trying to fill some space in their paper.
