Jones, a former student at the school, is said to have scouted the premises for a week before carrying out the stunt, getting past security by blending in with other students.
She then accused of returning on a day when eight teachers were absent and ‘got lucky’ as only seven substitutes had signed in, before going to a classroom set up by another teacher, who stayed with her for 20 minutes.
However, after that teacher left she allegedly proceeded to organise students by race and gender, insult them using racial slurs and derogatory statements, and use explicit language — as well as playing loud rap music and bragging about being OK with going to jail.
A 16-year-old boy in the class told authorities that she also called one student ‘fat boy’ and told two white pupils that ‘they were the type to start school shootings’, Independent reports.
Meanwhile Fox6 News Milwaukee reported that Jones was said to have asked if any of the students had a vape or marijuana as the class ‘was so f****** lame and annoying’.
She was reportedly escorted from the school after students raised the alarm and principal Doreen Badillo became aware of what was going on.
So much security theater just to allow someone like this to waltz into a classroom to openly berate children.
My partner has been in some child free communities and i saw a lot of people hating on kids. Most of the stories she’d relay were about kids being annoying with minimal mention of their parents.
My old boss was super into those groups and would post just vile, hateful stuff about kids.
I do think that child free groups are mostly about hating kids, in practice.

I don’t see the “so much” security theater you’re referring to, and it seems like she got very lucky. She appeared young enough to blend in with the other students but also appeared old enough to be a substitute teacher and had attended the high school not that long ago (and conveniently lived right across the street).
During her scouting the week prior, she “heard other staff in the main office talking about the substitute teacher agency and told the secretary she was a substitute”, so she had that established ahead of time. On the day she went into the classroom, eight of the approximately 70 teachers were absent, and one of those positions happened to be unfilled by a sub (something she couldn’t possibly have foreseen).
Incidentally, unrelated to your comment, here’s the local news source instead of the trash tabloid Metro.
Do you know what schools have implemented in the effort to cut down on school shootings?
That’s the security theater I’m talking about. The security theater that should have caught this woman. If she had a gun, there would be a lot of dead students right now.

Milwaukee public schools use metal detectors.
This video specifically shows what Rufus King (this high school) does. You’re assuming her having a gun wouldn’t have changed this, but it would’ve. Because part of that “so much security theater” is scanning people who enter the school.

And per the school’s own admission, teachers recognized her as a former student and didn’t say anything at the time.
If you’re drawing that from:
Since our first communication, our initial investigation determined that this individual involved was a former student recognized by staff. [emphasis mine] She was not a substitute teacher. We did involve our Milwaukee Police Department school resource officers (SROs) the day that this occurred. The district’s Title IX coordinator was also notified. In addition to any police actions resulting from this situation, the district is continuing with its own investigation.
It seems extremely clear that what the letter is saying isn’t that the staff saw her impersonating a substitute and looked the other way; it’s that once the students reported her, staff who worked there were able to identify her as a former student.
If this isn’t what you were talking about and I’m missing something, I apologize.

Who tf has this kind of time on their hands for such petty bullshit?
Seems like the childfree communities are leaking…
Childfree communities hate parents. Children are just their poor choices manifest.
That’s very idealist of you, and that’s how it should be, but it’s not always that way

I wouldn’t have nearly as much disdain for those communities if they focused on bad parents instead of attacking children.
This is easily the third time today you’ve said something correct and insightful and been downvoted to hell.
The fuck is wrong with Lemmy?

Schools are more secure than airports. It’s not just theatre.
She got away with a lot because people did recognize that she belonged there and she was unarmed. And she still got lucky.

Yes, see the video above.
And per the school’s own admission, teachers recognized her as a former student and didn’t say anything at the time.
There’s also many ways around metal detectors, especially when the school shows that they don’t follow protocols anyway.
I mean a former student definitely can be a substitute teacher
