7yo suspended for pastry gun

[Glockster69]

And the lunacy continues ....

School officials called Josh’s father to explain why his son was in trouble. During that conversation, Josh’s dad said school officials told him they considered Josh’s actions a threat because he said “bang, bang” while holding the pastry.

Good grief!

........

Yep. More proof of the painfully obvious. Zero-tolerance policies hurt a lot more than they help.

Just saw an interview with the little boy and his father. Little boy said he didn't even get to finish eating his pastry or breakfast and was still hungry! LOL. Father should now sue the school for endangering his son's health.

What ever happened to telling a kid, eat your food dont play with it?

 

[Greg_TX]

Stuff like this just makes me want to get off this planet and go find another one... :-/

 

[Glockster69]

Each of y'all made good points. How DID America get so screwed up? If they are not harming someone, just let people be.

 

[TwinGlocks]

I'm glad I'm not in school anymore.

 

[RugerFan]

Haha TwinGlocks I agree... We used to run around playing cowboys and stuff..

Yep, you have reached the age where you can now look back and see all the future, doctors, lawyers, politicians, nurses, mangers and all the other up and coming leaders who will take care of you when you reach the golden years....

And unions (NEA) are good, why? This is exactly why there is ZERO common sense in our youth today (5-35). These teacher twits have been going down this road for 20 years. It will only get worse as the products of this educational system recylce through as teachers and administrators in our schools.

If this crap happened in my school district, I would have a front row seat at every school board meeting until the teacher and principal were fired.

Well I hope the principal at the school doesn't use on of these things. It's a sound gun, it has a PISTOL GRIP, and detachable assault mic to make it easier to blast as much sound as possible as quickly as possible.

How do we trust these clowns with our children?

 

[Pilgrim]

I gotta stop reading this kind of stuff. It's making me lose even more faith in people than I already have. If that happened to my kid I'd be inclined to shove my foot so far down the school official's throat he'd have to sit down to change direction.

Public schools fail our children................for 30 plus years they worked to turn out little liberals while our universities continue the same agenda with the young adults, very few make it through with a clear mind, proud of America. Honestly I would not send my dog to public school today while we may have some good teachers the system is corrupt.

 

[TexasRedneck]

I hope the parents make fools of the district - crap like this has got to stop.

 

[Bithabus]

Ban assault pastry! Think of the fat children!

My younger brother got suspended, in the 2nd grade, for saying, "that black kid". Someone had asked "who", and that was his response. Twas extremely funny watching my dad chew out the principal and when she just kept repeated the same old BS, he called her a stupid bitch and said, "let's go son". I thought THAT was bad. Soon, we'll all start getting arrested for pointing at people, or things. I'm moving to China. The transition from GREAT NATION to Communism/Socialism/Dumb asses, is killing me. At least in China, it's already well established.

I am old enough to remember classmates with pickup trucks bringing rifles to school in the gun racks mounted in the truck's back window.

I can also remember a time when we would meet at the "bicycle rack" after school to settle our differences.
During my youth, guys and girls settled things with fights. You either won or lost and that was the end of it. No one ran home to Mom or got a Lawyer.

It is sad how we as a country now rely on the Government or some other institute to tell how we should act or think. This political correctness movement is killing this country. People can't think for themselves anymore.

Before you go to China can I have your guns? They hate guns there... but knives and swords are a different thing altogether
