There seems to be something bigger here.

On Sunday, 8/12/18, a teacher of MSD Highschool left a gun in a public bathroom. The gun was later found and discharged by someone else. The real topic of this post is how all the major media outlets have almost the exact same, and possibly misleading, title to their recounting of events.
All the same

This Parkland teacher left his gun in a public bathroom. It was loaded, BSO says.

PARKLAND TEACHER ARRESTED AFTER LEAVING LOADED GUN IN PUBLIC BATHROOM
All a bit similar right? To play devil's advocate here, I recognize that there are only so many ways to rephrase a single thing, but most of these are virtually identical.
Misleading
The fact that they specifically mention that this is a Parkland teacher gives me pause. If it were a teacher from Sleepy Hollow, New York, you wouldn't see people, outside of local news outlets, name-dropping the location. I think it is fair to say that the fact that the location is prominently featured is a sign that they are serving an agenda with this story.
Additionally, if you didn't read the article, you would think he left it in the school. After all, why is his location relevant otherwise? The real story is that he was as a sports event and set his CCW on a table inside the bathroom.
Conspiracy
What CCW'er would ever do this? I know nobody who would ever even take their gun out of their pants unless they plan on shooting it. With the exception of sleep and showers, it's inside their waistband, safe and snug. There is also so much more pressure on him to not screw up with his gun since he is a Parkland teacher. Either this dude is a massive idiot, or there is more going on behind the scenes than we know about. There is plenty of motive to engineer such an event. This counts at least the 2nd "teacher and gun" story I've seen since the conversation around teachers packing heat became serious.
