Students caused panic at school by discussing the weapons of Call of Duty Black Ops 4. Parents were worried about another Santa Fe like incident.
For parents, security of their children is a genuine concern right now. A number of school shootings in the recent past have spread panic and made everyone vigilant. Any suspicious activity is reported without a thought and it is exactly what happened at Wilson Area School District in Washington.
Comments made by a student incited panic at school to the point where parents and administration had to get involved. The student in question was discussing the weapons of Black Ops 4 aka the latest Call of Duty game. A bunch of students overheard the conversation and started spreading misinformation, triggering a panic. Such a response is natural after what happened in Florida and more recently Santa Fe.
Superintendent Douglas Wagner had to respond to the situation and after investigation, he wrote a clarification letter to the parents, a copy of which was obtained by SegmentNext.
The situation at the Wilson Area School District shows just how misinformation about video games is causing people to panic. The trump administration has done nothing but blame everything other than guns including video games and now even abortion for gun violence.
