NEWPORT NEWS — The Newport News Education Association President condemned the premise of the school division’s motion to dismiss Abigail Zwerner’s pending $40 million lawsuit.

The motion was filed last week by attorneys representing the School Board and argues that Zwerner, who was shot in her classroom at Richneck Elementary in January by a 6-year-old student, is only entitled to file a worker’s compensation claim because the injury she sustained from the shooting is a “workplace injury,” and that the shooting was a hazard of the job.

There's a fervent following amongst the uneducated who worship them unfortunately, otherwise we would have some common sense regulation and remove a lot of needless deaths.

Virginia is definitely one of the states which leans heavily towards the worship part.
