Interestingly enough, Penn State University, with over 40,000 students, has had no bomb threats this school year. Meanwhile Emmaus High School, with 2,500 students, has cancelled three days of classes due to bomb threats. I'm becoming a little concerned about the trajectory of my alma mater.

Again, as an Emmaus resident, I'm tired of using my tax dollars to deal with the high school all the time. Daily!!! It's time that East Penn hires their own police and let all tax payers pay. Not just Emmaus residents.
And why is Emmaus Patch posting twitter comments with foul language?

For all the wasteful usage of tax money that I've observed in my years at East Penn, these bomb threats are especially frustrating. It seems so silly to investigate a bomb they know is not there, yet they can't ignore the threat. I also worry that the new, stricter policies EHS will implement, such as locking bathrooms, will only incite more rebellion. It's a shame that 99% of the students are good kids, but the school will receive a reputation based on a few troublemakers.

In the 50's you were sent to Camphill PA Reform School. If you got caught.

that is because we can't have any type of enforcement, might hurt someones feelings....ridiculous. ACLU thank you. sarcasm...

This is what happens when you have a bunch of undisciplined punks. I hope they find who did this and teach them a lesson since their parents can't!!

I think the East Penn School district(Emmaus High School) should now start lengthen ing the school year each time there is a bomb threat..Someone will get the message sooner or later

I wish Dr. Tom Seidenberger would have sent out another call stating the all clear, only High School students got that call. If you are going to send out a call telling all students/families about the threat, then you should send out a call saying there was an all clear! I don't understand why this was not done.

tough decisions to make with recent public school shootings. Back in my day we would go outside for a little bit and then everyone back inside to continue the day. But today things are really different. Kids today really have problems. Whats going on? This may be more than one person. It is sad. Makes you not want to put your kids in school.

The students are capable of stopping the threats if they desire. Someone knows the person/s responsible. Stop it. Take action.

It may not be quite so simple. It's highly possible that a thoughtless students wrote the threat on a bathroom mirror without telling anyone, and didn't say anything when he or she realized the gravity of the prank and potential consequences. Very few, if any, other kids would know about it. All the Emmaus students I know are livid about the threats--it's completely demeaning to ask for a key to use the bathroom, and no one wants to make up "bomb threat days" in June. Hopefully someone will rat the culprit out, but most of the student body is powerless to stop it. It's a shame that so many good kids will be punished for one student's idiotic actions.
