I agree it is frustrating we don't know more, and I wish we did because as it stands, it sounds completely out of line. According to comments on the local news article, though, this principal and the school aren't anti-gun liberals with an agenda but rather pretty conservative. So there is still just too much unknown. It was a good article to stir up controversy and drive unique website visits for advertising revenue though.chasfm11 wrote: So why weren't the PTO sources separately queried? Probably because it doesn't lend anything to the goal of the story, which is to cause controversy and increase unique visitor count to earn more money from advertisers. So far, it is a she said/she said between the mom and the principal. It is only a he-said/she-said from our vantage point. It could be the "no trespass order" was fully flushed out and issued justifiably, we don't know and are probably never going to find out. The "rash of school shootings" has absolutely nothing to do with a Georgia licensed CCW.
It is probably better that the mom and her daughter are now in a separate school. But that does not let the principal off the hook. There needs to be a superintendent level query of the situation and appropriate action taken from the findings. Typically, however, these matters are swept under the rug within the school administration. That is why they continue. I still would like to know who issued and/or enforced the no trespass ruling. I don't know Georgia's public records laws, but since this isn't related to an individual restraining order or something similar, it should be subject to a FOIA if you want to do the leg work. I'm guessing the news outlets have gotten their ROI on the articles so there won't be any more reporting on the matter. And there is explaining to do about the principal's knowledge of the FB post in the first place. Her FB profile is not entirely private, and most likely she is friends on FB with other parents at the school. With the "Friends of friends" privacy setting it isn't urneasonable that the Principal was able to see her FB profile easily. Or one of the PTO members referenced in the article told the principal about it.

Re: Mother/Vet refused entry to school for CHL on Facebook
Based on the local news article that Fox linked to:
There is still far too much that isn't known. But based on the facts presented in the two articles, I don't think a criminal trespass order is justifiable.
So it sounds as though the mom was not afraid to speak her mind and had a history of standing up and questioning the schools decisions.Principal Dallas says several PTO members pointed out instances where Mount would disrupt classes and where Mount said she wouldn't let anybody bother her daughter
The principal says with the rash of school shootings, coupled with Mount's comments and the permit, it was cause for alarm.
