46. Interesting that no students have come forward to corroborate that this was staged.

The KC Star article reports,

In a Snapchat post shared with The Star, Samsel wrote that “it was all planned.”

“Every little bit of it. That’s right. The kids and I planned ALL this to SEND A MESSAGE about art, mental health, teenage suicide, how we treat our educators and one another. To who? Parents. And grandparents. And all of Wellsville,” he posted.

It was supposedly about "art, mental health, and suicide"? WTF was he supposed to be teaching? I could see if they'd pulled him in to teach social studies (as a lawyer, that's the only thing he might be qualified to teach). But I am 100% positive he was not hired to teach art and/or health and wellness. And NONE of that excuses bringing God into the public school at all.

Where are the students who agreed with this? And also: if the kids did agree to do this, it may not have been of their own volition. How can kids give consent or object to what's being taught in school as it's being taught? To do so is to be labeled a troublemaker and sent to the office. Kids are literally in school to learn to be compliant and unquestioning (as opposed to learning and using critical thinking skills, per the DeVos education agenda).
