It seems that Attorney General Gonzalez is not the only AG in the country that has lost his goddamned mind.
Virginia Attorney General, Bob McDonnell has now declared that bringing holstered guns to a public School Board meeting in Virginia is A-OK.
Reading an article published in the Daily Press about a week ago, Attorney General: Guns OK at York school board meetings we see this
YORK -- School board meetings may focus on schools, but they are not school-sponsored events, and citizens don't have to leave their firearms at the door unless the meeting is held on district property.
That was Virginia Attorney General Robert McDonnell's response to questions from York County Attorney James E. Barnett, who wrote McDonnell at the request of the York School Board.
Now, needless to say, this is ridiculous. School Board meetings commonly have children testify, thus are in the vicinity of said guns. Not to mention the intimidation factor of having to testify while opposing a man who carries a gun TO A FREAKING SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
Worse yet, this was based on a decision from 2000 that allowed open prayer at school...
McDonnell said he based his decision on a 2000 opinion related to opening meetings with prayers. He wrote that a "school board meeting is a meeting of adults with official business and policy making duties." Students may attend such meetings, but they do so voluntarily.
