In Wisconsin, a high school chemistry teacher was arrested after posting an anonymous comment online praising the Columbine shooters. The post disturbed some people, but some people found it as just a comment on educational spending. The comment was posted on http://www.bootsandsabers.com, which is a blog about Wisconsin politics.
The teacher, named James, Buss, wrote how he felt that teachers were lazy and paid too much money for working 5 hours a day. The statement he made about the Columbine shooters was that “They knew how to deal with the overpaid teacher union. One shot at a time!” He also wrote that the shooters should be remembered as heroes.
The comment disturbed another teacher, who called the police. The police arrested Buss at his home last week after they received his Internet Provider address. He spent an hour in jail and then was released on $350 bail. The Washington County District Attorney is unsure whether to charge Buss with disorderly conduct and unlawful use of computerized communication systems or not. The school district may have the right to discipline Buss. Buss has been placed on paid administrative leave until the school district decides what to do
