How Things Have Changed

A rumor that a suspended student planned to bring a gun to school Tuesday prompted parents to keep from 350 to 400 students home from Holmes High School in Covington.

Except for the missing students, it turned out to be a routine school day with no major incidents, Covington School Superintendent Jack Moreland said. "I guess it must be a slow news day when the 5 o'clock story is, 'School dismissed without incident,'" he said.

What happened to the Holmes High School I used to know? Back in the day, students packing heat was a common occurrence and certainly didn't require staying home from school. Man, the kids have gone soft.
