A spokesperson for Johnston County Schools confirmed to Fox News that they found the shotgun in Withrow’s locked vehicle.
 
“The law is very clear when a person knowingly and willingly brings a weapon onto educational property,” spokesperson Tracey Peedin Jones said. “The situation was turned over to law enforcement immediately.”

According to the student he didn't know.  The spokesperson needs to realize what they said is not what happened.  Sad how PC the world is today.

Morons strike again.

Here are two words I do not associate with this story. "Knowingly" and "Willingly"

He did not know it was in his truck (he should know where his guns are at all times, cant argue that fact) but as soon as he found it he  tried to get off the property. Expelled for one year and charged with a felony. Way to go guys, glad we got this psychopath off the streets 

It's getting to the point where you should just:

(1) break another rule/law (leave campus without permission),
(2) lie about why you did it (teaching kids it's not just okay to lie, but often the ONLY OPTION), and
(3) avoid getting caught committing a felony by committing a misdemeanor. 

Classic no-win scenario.  You need to be smart enough on the law as a high-schooler, it seems, to know WHICH laws are the correct ones to break when avoiding getting caught for the more severe ones!

Maybe they can add that to the curriculum?

It is to the point where you really need an ethics/morals class in high school.  I think most of the adults in the school system would fail, but I think the students would pass.
