RENO - Six girls have been arrested after students were invited on Facebook to take part in "Attack a Teacher Day" at two middle schools.

One girl was accused of inviting about 100 students on the social networking website to participate in the event Friday, and the other five were accused of responding with online threats against specific teachers, Carson Middle School Principal Dan Sadler said.

The Nevada Appeal newspaper in Carson City reported the girls were booked Wednesday at juvenile hall on a misdemeanor charge of communicating threats. Their names were not released.

While the students insisted it was a joke, Sadler said they were arrested on the same day a suspended 17-year-old student in Omaha, Nebraska, fatally shot an assistant principal and wounded his principal before fleeing the campus and taking his own life.

1. I'd say they deserved to get arrested.

Even if it was just a joke to them, it could have very easily caused a violent situation. I hope they learned their lesson.

2. One person's joke is another person's assault.

I'm sure someone, somewhere is going to blame this on the teachers. Or on schools being out of control with their punishments. Or that the teachers need to lighten up.
