Two days after the Nov. 30 shooting at Oxford High School, advanced placement U.S. history and civics teacher Richard Mui arrived at his own high school 60 miles away to find his students distraught.
Overnight, threats of violence directed at schools across the state had started to spread across social media. Dozens of Michigan school districts had already determined that the threats were not credible but some cancelled classes for the day out of an abundance of caution. Many people did not know about the threats until after they arrived at school.
After his first-hour class at Canton High School, Mui went downstairs to share the students’ concerns with the administration and found a long line of students already outside the attendance office being excused and picked up early by their parents.
