Darin left his backpack at a friend's house and had to be sent to school with a backup. When he discovered the toy in the bag, knowing it was illegal, Darin turned the contraband into his teacher.
"He found the toy gun on the outside pocket," Darin's father Chris Simak told local reporters. "He took it straight to the teacher and said that he wasn't allowed to have it."
Darin's teacher followed protocol and brought the first grader to the principal, where he was immediately suspended pending an expulsion hearing. According to the school charter, the punishment for bringing a toy weapon to school is expulsion for "a period of not less than one (1) year."
"He did the right thing, and we're trying to teach him the right way," Simak said, "and now they're teaching him the wrong way."

Here’s another example:
“School Sunscreen Ban Causes 10-Year-Old Girl To Get FRIED On Field Trip”
“Typically, sunscreen is a toxic substance,” Chancellor told the Fox affiliate, “and we can’t allow toxic things in to be in our schools.”
The district spokeswoman argued that allowing kids to handle sunscreen is a very risky thing to do.
“They could possibly have an allergic reaction [or] they could ingest it. It’s really a dangerous situation,” Chancellor said.
Liberalism IS a mental disorder.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that quote; thanks for posting.
This is exactly how the idiots of America are being manufactured.
Thank God I am 55 years old....within 20 years the marxists will have won the day....
I will probably not see that day....
They will disarm the population....and impose their will upon kids just like this little first grade sheeple...
Thankfully most of my eight grand kids are being homeschooled. ..
I attended an extremely liberal high school. Every year we would play a game, based on a movie, called the assassination game. It went on for weeks, and involved walking around school with a dart gun. I had a simple pistol...some guys had very realistic guns with magazines of small nerf bullets. It was alot of fun.
Thirty years ago - it never even crosser our minds that a toy gun may be inappropriate. Things are moving at warp speed.
“Expelled Kid’s Dad Punches Out School Principal”
“It was a fricking toy gun, my son tells the truth, and for this you EXPELLED him!!?”
POW! BIFF! SOCKO! (plop)
This is so ridiculous.
I remember carrying squirt guns in school. I also carried a pocket knife (and still do).
I never got in trouble in school, and was a fairly good student. In this day and age, however, I’d no doubt be expelled for some stupid excuse.
The poor brainwashed kid just unwittingly ruined his life. This will go in his permanent school record, and he will probably referred to psychotherapy, and be prescribed anti-psychotic drugs that will fry his brain. It’s not as far fetched as it sounds. It’s the standard MO of militant government school lackeys.
“When he discovered the toy in the bag, knowing it was illegal.”
An ominous choice of words, here.
They would ban fathers from entering school property.
And he will be forever banned form legally owning a real firearm.
They don’t already? Several incidents of protesting parents being turned away at the gates, IIRC.
The schools have long since usurped the parents’ role.
I grew up playing with the coolest Toy Guns, an M1 that looked almost real and a BLACK Tripod Mounted Machine Gun to name a couple. Both were battery operated and I was the go to “Arms Dealer” for the Kids on my block.
When I was eight, my Dad got me a bolt action .22 and a single shot 410 Shotgun, which I kept in my Bedroom Closet.
Somehow, someway, I managed to reach the ripe old age of 60 without harming a soul. I’m not sure what happened to the Country I grew up in, but this story really tells us how screwed up it has become.
As I was watching one of the D Day specials on TV last night, I found myself finding out things I never knew about it. The treasure lost and how all that planning actually fell apart when the wheels were set in motion. Even with all that, we prevailed thanks to the Bravery of Young Men thrust into a living Hell.
My Father was in the S. Pacific serving in the Navy during the Invasion of Iwo Jima. He was on a Navy Tug that pulled disabled Landing Craft off the Beach while under enemy fire. I think of what he went through and then I think of the sacrifices made by all those young men, all the while surveying the current state of affairs. It saddens me.
Sorry if I’m a bit of topic, but like many of us here, I see our way of life disappearing before my eyes with the support of a majority of the Electorate. WTH happened?
Boy, did you parents screw up. Obama would have hidden it, and if discovered, he would have said it was put in his bag by George Bush. And he didn’t know about it till he saw it in the press.
When will these school officials be charged with child abuse?
This isn’t about common sense. This is about indoctrinating and entire generation to believe guns are inherently bad, and people that possess them must be punished. In about 20-25 years the Democrats will have the mandate they need to completely outlaw firearms. Sure, some of these kids will still be exposed to the positive side of guns, but a large majority, who aren’t routinely exposed to guns will provide the leverage they need. My only hope is, as the kids get older, they are attracted to the fruit of the forbidden tree.
You need to teach your children to never trust anyone who draws a government paycheck.
“He did the right thing.” The father sounds clueless.
The kid needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut. No one knew that he accidentally brought a toy gun to school.
In high school before Veterans’ Day we trooped into the building bearing our dads’ WWII souvenir rifles, bayonets, swords, German helmets, & set up a display in a trophy case in the library! (1965)
I used to board airliners & hand my cased shotgun to the stewardess to place in the hanging closet. (1967)
Carried two rifles I brought from Vietnam in a golf bag down the airport concourse. (1972)
Opened my suitcase packed with handguns in U.S. customs; they looked at the BATF form & waved me through. (1982)
Isn’t progress wonderful?
