Last week, a Maryland boy nibbled his strawberry, pre-baked toaster pastry into the shape of a gun while at school. Naturally, the public school officials at Park Elementary School in Brooklyn Park freaked out when they noticed the Pop-Tart gun and suspended the boy for two days.

In an interview with Baltimore Fox station WBFF the budding ‘delinquent’ shared his story.

“It was already a rectangle and I just kept on biting it and biting it and tore off the top and it kinda looked like a gun but it wasn’t,” said 7-year-old Josh Welch. “All I was trying to do was turn it into a mountain but, it didn’t look like a mountain really and it turned out to be a gun kinda.”

Following the incident, one lawmaker is making strides to ensure that no student is subjected to such harsh punishment for essentially being a kid.

Sen. J.B. Jennings (R-Baltimore) has introduced Senate Bill 1058: ‘The Reasonable School Discipline Act of 2013’ or as The Daily Caller nicknamed it: ‘Toaster Pastry Gun Freedom Act.’

Under the language of the bill, no student is to be expelled or suspended for possessing on school property “a picture of a gun, a computer image of a gun, a facsimile of a gun, or any other object that resembles a gun but serves another purpose,” i.e. a delicious breakfast snack.

I watched, for example, Red and Black, and Revulsion. Otherwise there wasn't all that much time or movies. Think a girl and I went to see Khartoum ~ had a lot of violence, showed a lot of skin, but she checked the Legion of Decency review and they said it was OK ~ guess that's because the Moslems lost!

I suspect you’re right.

I have thought also that the public skrewels could be conditioning an inordinate fear of guns into the children. A sort of generational disarmament, as it were.
