Ohio state police will conduct daily sweeps of schools in Springfieldafter authorities have been forced to investigate “at least 33” bomb threats that led to evacuations and temporary building closures, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Monday.

“We want to make sure, as school continues this week in Springfield, that parents have confidence that the school is in fact safe,” the Republican governor said at a press conference.

Each bomb threat has been a hoax without “any validity at all,” DeWine said.

    If i had to live under constant fear of getting murdered by some depressed student in a mass shooting, i would also start making up crazy shit to get out of school by any means necessary.

        I mean the first half about having to live in fear is factually correct, so no crayons required. The second part is kinda far fetched but im sure it has happened. Also kids are fucking stupid and do shit like pull fire alarms for fun all the time. There doesnt even need to be a reason for people to call in a fake bomb threat. They might just be bored.

      This has nothing to do with scared students. This is the result of rhetoric from Trump and Vance about the large Haitian population in Springfield. Violent right-wingers are acting upon their dear leader’s words.
