Letter: Use of school facilities for shooting range seems a terrible double standard

I applaud the idea of the JROTC program in Kennewick. What I object to is the use of school facilities for the shooting range in the school’s gym annex.

If a child brings a toy gun to school they will be expelled. This to me seems a terrible double standard and a poor example for the students. If the rules apply to one the rules should apply to all.
