Decision to fire teacher splits community

The question of whether Anthony Sarkis should lose his job for taking a loaded gun into Shaler Area High School last month has polarized people in the Shaler Area School District, creating divisions within the close-knit community. Many residents, including some parents, think the school board should not bend on its decision to dismiss the high school teacher fired last week over the infraction. Others believe the quality of the job he does should outweigh the honest mistake he made.

Zero tolerance strikes again. This guy didn't kill anyone, didn't make any threats, didn't even mean to bring his firearm into the school. Someone else found it in his bag along with his schoolbooks (and what were they doing searching his bag anyway?). And for this, people want him fired.
