A kid was suspended for doodling a picture of a laser gun, and the school spokesman says that it constituted a "very real threat".
I think I'm going to have a stroke.

Had he been an illegal immigrant or child of illegal immigrants would he have been suspended? Political-correctness has gotten WAY out of hand, and it needs to stop.
-
they suspended a few elementary students a while back for playing cops and robbers onthe play ground.
Nothing surprises me anymore.
I'm waiting on the political correctness crowd to remove any mention of war from history books and skew them even further fromt eh truth than they are already

Thats just stupid.
At 13 I had a colt 1911 and a Green Berret Crest drawn on my binder.
-
Thank god I got out of the school system just as this crap was getting into full swing.
But I think it's funny how they have begun training the kids earlier and earlier to view a gun or any representation of it as threatening.

I agree.
I'm more threatened by pictures of Hillary.

"And after going through the paper work to get the kid suspended, the high school principle and his staff then went back to smoking the drugs they had taken off of the kids earlier in the week."
Guns only threaten the weak minded and mentally incapable. Aka, government. "Politically correct" people around here are afraid to walk down the street. As they should be for the cowards they are.

Well mcblivet, if they had a clue that folks there had the vast knowledge of ballistics and shooting that you do, the PC folks would realize they have nothing to fear at all other than pure random chance.

Can you imagine having the uptight society we have now, say, 30 years ago? If you imitated the Three Stooges, we'd be sitting on the counselor's couch discussing the dangers of slaps and eye poking.
All reason disappeared when the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner show got yanked off the air :D

Ohh have I got a story for you guys later about a very similar event that happend when my son was a sophmore in HS.
Which ended with me warning the vice principle that if he ever went near or bothered my son again for such nonsense I was going to search HIM with all the subtlety of a jackhammer

And to think that in 1990 when I graduated from high school it was no big deal to pull into the parking lot with my Winchester 1300 pump 12 gage hanging in the gun rack in the window of my truck. Granted I was in Altus OK but still the schools today are going way overboard.
Last year I got called to my sons school because he was telling one of his friends about the BB gun I had bought him for Christmas. His teachers and the principle were trying to lecture me on the evils of guns. They were rather shocked when I told them how many guns I own and the fact that I let my children handle them whenever they want as long as they ask me first.
My kids will not grow up afraid of firearms, but they will understand the responsiblity that comes with having one.

Fixed. They would also have the vigilantes to fear as well. At least some Americans didn't lose their heads after Columbine.

The drawing of a weapon, of any kind, on a binder, or any piece of scholastic hardware, indicates a total and utter indifference to the attitude of weapons in the hands of minors.
This boy should be punished, to the the maximum extent.
His parents should be jailed.
His friends should be interrogated.
His teachers should be fired
The government that allowed this should be impeached.
The country that spawned him should be re-evaluated and perhaps divided amongst their leading rivals.
-
Maybe this principal needs to take a moment to look in the mirror and-
Oh, wait... that's right, lasers.

I suppose kids drawing swastikas would be considered to be bad these days? the headmaster at a school I went to over 30 years ago didn’t think so. He had a look as he walked past me as I carved (not drew) a swastika on the lid of my desk. I thought he would go ballistic and at the least make me sand it off, but he didn’t do or say a word. it turned out he wanted new desks for the school and the more crappier the old ones got the more likely he was to screw new desks out of the education department.
sherman tanks, spitfires, bren guns; to name a few... you couldn’t get into the class room with out tripping over pics, drawings or models of them. I am not surprised the modern class room is so different, after all we are living in an era when it's almost forbidden for adults let alone kids to say what they think or express themselves without being jumped on by the control freaks and their trained sheep

I pulled my boy out of school earlier than I would have over an incident involving a playground scrap. I was urgently called to the school because an unfortunate event had just occurred I was told by the school secretary. mentally preparing for the worst and with my heart racing I reach the principal's office to see my boy sitting in a chair looking sheepish and guilty. the principal explains that boy had struck a student and that this was intolerable and that he would need to be suspended. furthermore if there were any additional examples of his violent behavior he would reported to DCF and a social worker would evaluate our family.
I asked my boy to tell me his version, I asked where the other boy was and why he wasn't present in the room. they sent for the other boy and I asked the other boy for his version. the other boy admitted that he had started it. the two boys shook hands thus ending the animosity.
I asked the principal to have a few words with me outside but he refused to step outside at that time. I think the look on my face pretty much conveyed to him what I was about to say. I just couldn't believe that a highly educated school administrator would not take the steps I did to resolve the conflict and prevent further occurance.
I then wrote my councilman who put me in contact with the schoolboard rep for our district and I made a big deal out of the issue especially about the threat to bring DCF into the matter over a school yard scuffle.
we homeschooled all our kids after elementary school anyways so we pulled him out at the end of the school year thus avoiding any further complications with the idiotic and gay mentality of the current educational system.

If you search his posts, I believe Dred already wrote it a couple of years back. I remember this one.

That is why my grand daughter will be going to catholic school this year.
The solution to the problem is vouchers. we have made the public school a sainted institution that knows what is good for our children over and above what the parents do. the parents are just in the way of the indoctrinization.
Liberal democrats and the school system... what did you expect? state run schools... what did you expect?
Sure.. they weren't too bad when we went... they simply hadn't gotten the power and the voting block yet... they still did every socialist liberal thing they could tho..
This is just the result of their long hard fight.
The solution to the problem is vouchers.. you can't even fire a teacher in public school... it has gone too far... we need to just get out...those of us who care about our kids that is.

lolz, I am a supporter of the right to bear arms, but this statement is just hilarious. If you do not view guns as a threat, then you haven't been trained well enough to own one!

Actually the same could be said for your statement skyrock. A firearm is never a threat all by itself. It always takes the action of a person to make it into a threat. Same for a hammer, screw driver, pliers, saw etc. etc.. The inanimate object is just a tool, how it's used determines the threat, if any.

I was just about to post something similar, but couldn't get the wording right.
I fear the mishandling of firearms. But that stems from the person's lack of knowledge, not how dangerous any object can be.

Ridiculous...
What would have happened if he drew a tank?

a gun can be a threat - a picture drawn by an 8th grader......come on.
Theres a thign here in scotland now. It's the fact that the National Health Service can't tell you the sex of your expected baby in case you sue them if they get it wrong :huh :confused:
