No Kidding: Maryland School Offers Counseling to Sufferers of Pastry Traumatic Stress Disorder
IJ Review ^ | 3/5/13 | Kyle Becker

There’s no word yet if the suspect wielded a “military-style” pop tart. But below is a copy of a letter the school sent to parents:

Dear Parents and Guardians:

I am writing to let you know about an incident that occurred this morning in one of our classrooms and encourage you to discuss this matter with your child in a manner you deem most appropriate.

During breakfast this morning, one of our students used food to make inappropriate gestures that disrupted the class. While no physical threats were made and no one [was] harmed, the student had to be removed from the classroom.

* * *

As you are aware, the … Code of Student Conduct and appropriate consequences related to violations of the code are clearly spelled out in the Student Handbook, which was sent home during the first week of school and can be found on our website, www.aacps.org….

If your children express that they are troubled by today’s incident, please talk with them and help them share their feelings. Our school counselor is available to meet with any students who have the need to do so next week. In general, please remind them of the importance of making good choices.

What is ‘troubling’ is the stupidity of those who work at Park Elementary School in Baltimore and not the behavior of the kid who was being a kid. There is violence all over television and on the Internet and we are worrying about a child expressing himself with his pastry? Come on.

Don't anyone move or I throw this fragmentary grenade into the middle of the room!

Amen Brother.

These people are beyond stupid.

This is the Dog crap we have teaching in public schools.

If the kid had eaten the pop tart in the form of a penis he would have been given a gold star

The whole world is going nuts. Over here a county Sheriff says an active duty soldier showed “bad judgement” wearing his uniform into a school.

When I was in school it was pretty much customary for former graduates to come back to the school after boot camp to say hi to friends and teachers and show off a bit. It was something for everyone to be proud of.

I’m just trying to figure out the best means of selectively dosing liberals with Thorazine.

If we can spot them maybe we could dart them from helicopters.

If you’re thinking this was an over-reaction, be glad this incident didn’t happen in NY City, where Mayor BloomingIdiot would probably had the little perpetrator shot for misusing a pastry.

What about the gun-shaped letter “L”? Is that allowed in the school?

People here sure are insensitive to the psychological needs of the survivors of this near-tragedy. </sarcasm>

Look, it was a pastry not a bun. And it could be eaten in seven bites. It wasn't even a high capacity pastry. The kid is innocent I tell ya!
See, that’s exactly where you are wrong! That kid could have “shot” hundreds of imaginary bullets from that thing without reloading! We’re all gonna DIE!
the teacher and the rest of the school's so called educators need counseling. Their brains have turned to mush and they are no longer capable of rational thought.
The teacher should be hired by Sandy Hook Elementary School. They need teachers who can disarm vicious mass murderers the way this teacher did! While s/he is at it, s/he can use an imaginary time machine and go back to before the Sandy Hook Elementary School, and save those 20 children!
This teacher is an imaginary HERO!
And a real-life ZERO . . .

These people don’t need grief counseling, they need a good pie in the face!
Which, come to think of it, would do wonders for just about every reporter in journalism!
