Here is a letter I sent to school board:

Dear AACPS,

Honestly, with all due respect. . . .how, in God's name, can you deal with such an important topic in such a stupid fashion? Is this how far we've come?. . .shaping a fruit tart into what may have resembled a gun is grounds for a two-day suspension? Did you happen to see what the mascot is of Park Elementary? It is a vicious, snarling, man-eating TIGER. . . .You are doing nothing but confusing the children with your politically-correct policies. You can feel good about yourselves as you pretend your marvelous policies are really making a difference, but, in truth, you are only hurting kids.

And what's with the note sent home to all the parents . .which only mentions "inappropriate gestures"? . . .Do you realize when you use such imprecise language, you only serve to stigmatize a young child? Think for a moment of all the heinous acts that could fall under the term "inappropriate gesture." Clearly, you didn't specify the exact nature of the "inappropriate gesture" because you knew it would call into question your own decision as inappropriate and, thus, cause any thinking person to hold your actions in contempt. , . Instead, to protect yourselves, you deflect the ridicule elsewhere. . .you hide behind your fuzzy terms and by doing so, help to stigmatize and traumatize a young child.

Shame on all of you!

Josh, If this is what your school system has become, you now know how o get a few days off from school. You won’t miss much, because they are not educating you about anything. In fact if you do it enough you may not have to go to school ever again. Good luck Josh, You’ll learn much more at home with home schooling.

Welch said he was trying to shape the Pop-Tart into a mountain.

Here's a picture of a mountain. It's called the Heavenly Ski Resort in South Lake Tahoe.

The ski run is called Gunbarrel.

Here's the view from the top.

Student suspended for shaping Pop-Tart into gun

Was it a Pop-gun?

I’m surprised they didn’t suspend him a whole month for eating the evidence.

It occurs to me that this idiocy might stop if children nationwide were to gnaw various food items into L-shapes, hold and turn the lunchrooms into a vast game of “cops and robbers”.

Maybe someone could proclaim “National Play Cops and Robbers at Lunch with Toy Guns Made of Food Day”.

This is more proof that government can never be allowed to do anything be it gov schools or anything. socialism/government doesn't work. and democrats ALL they want to do is grow government and empower government
