Trip To Texas Panics Priest River

At KXLY, Alex LeFriec reports: Priest River parents are anxious after a group of teachers traveled to Texas, raising fears about their children being exposed to Ebola, a baseless concern according to school officials since those staffers never closer than 150 miles from Dallas. When that group of teachers from Priest River Lamanna High School went to the Lone Star State for a retreat, they were hoping to bring back some tips and knowledge for their students. Now some of those students and their parents fear they brought back something else. “They should at least keep them down there and quarantine them to see if they have it before bringing them back into school,” parent Linda Ramos said. Ramos said there's no guarantee that the nine staff members don't have Ebola. More here.

Question: Ah, are we going overboard here?
