'Pioneer HS Confessions' Facebook page admins suspended after anonymous shooting threat posted

The two Pioneer High School seniors who acted as administrators of the Pioneer HS Confessions Facebook page have been suspended for three days after posting an anonymous threat that was submitted to the page Monday evening.

The post, “I’m going to shoot up the school,” triggered a response from Ann Arbor Public Schools administrators and the Ann Arbor Police Department. A male Pioneer High School student was arrested before school hours Tuesday morning and, according to a statement from the district, he admitted to having submitted the threat.

The Pioneer HS Confessions page has been in operation since March and is one of a number of pages that offer high school students the opportunity to make statements by using a third-party anonymous submission form. Anyone can submit anonymous “confessions” through a Google Drive form, and the submissions are then posted on the page by the administrators.

According to the student behavior referral form filled out by the Pioneer High School administration, the students were suspended for “Disruptive conduct” and “Inappropriate use of Internet.”

Side note, some notable alumni of Ann Arbor Pioneer include NFL quarterback now 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, musicians Iggy Pop and Bob Seger, and documentary filmmaker Ken Burns.

But I definitely think these kids should face consequences for failing to report a violent threat.
