NEWPORT NEWS — The Newport News Education Association President condemned the premise of the school division’s motion to dismiss Abigail Zwerner’s pending $40 million lawsuit.

The motion was filed last week by attorneys representing the School Board and argues that Zwerner, who was shot in her classroom at Richneck Elementary in January by a 6-year-old student, is only entitled to file a worker’s compensation claim because the injury she sustained from the shooting is a “workplace injury,” and that the shooting was a hazard of the job.

Yea! Fuck those teachers for not thinking that being shot isn't just an expected risk of the job!

Murica gets more surreal (or others would say idiocratic) by the minute.

That's the biggest reason why I'm really concerned by climate change
