High school apologizes after assigning 'shooting at Trump' quiz

A Wyoming high school offered an apology and investigation after students at Jackson Hole High School were given a multiple choice test in their English class that gave as one option “He was shooting at Trump.”

The Jackson Hole News and Guide quotes an outraged parent who noted how poor the timing was for implying violence against the President of the United States.

The timing couldn't be worse to insinuate violence, McCollum said. Stephen Paddock's Sunday night shooting rampage in Las Vegas killed 58 people and injured more than 500.

"The Las Vegas thing still weights on us," he said. "We are absolutely devastated. Just like any other American, we are devastated by what happened."

Napoleon has the gun fired for a new occasion. What is the new occasion?

  • He was shooting at Trump 
  • His birthday 
  • For completion of the windmill 
  • To scare off the attackers of Animal Farm

In a statement this morning, the district said, "TCSD #1 administration learned late yesterday that a quiz was administered to a class of high school students that contained an inappropriate answer to a multiple choice question. Administration is investigating this incident and verifying the information we have received.

“TCSD #1 takes seriously threats of any kind, regardless of the intent. We apologize to the students, families and community for this incident and will be addressing the issue with personnel."
