Texas superintendent resigns after 3rd grader finds his gun unattended in a school bathroom

[RandySF]

The superintendent of a Texas school district resigned after a third-grade student found his gun unattended in a school bathroom.

Robby Stuteville submitted his resignation from the Rising Star Independent School District effective Monday. It will formally be accepted at a special board meeting on Thursday, said Monty Jones, secondary principal for grades 6 through 12, in a phone call with NBC News.

Jones will be the acting superintendent until the district finds a replacement.

Stuteville resigned following backlash over the district's handling of the January incident, in which the third-grader discovered the gun in a bathroom at Rising Star Elementary School in Rising Star, a small town about 155 miles southwest of Dallas. News of the incident became public last week, and many parents expressed frustration during a Feb. 16 board meeting that they were not informed of the issue when it first happened.

Good that Stuteville resigned, but he should have been fired and charged immediately.

Oh. Well, that explains a lot. These people are insane.

Destroy the gun! A gun does not have the right to a trial. The misuse of the gun is not disputed. Destroy it!
