SUFFOLK, Va. — Two Suffolk second graders have been suspended for making shooting noises while pointing pencils at each other.
Media outlets report the 7-year-old boys were suspended for two days for a violation of the Suffolk school system’s zero-tolerance policy on weapons. They were playing with one another in class Friday at Driver Elementary.
“When I asked him about it, he said, ‘Well I was being a Marine and the other guy was being a bad guy,’” said Paul Marshall, one of the boys’ fathers. “It’s as simple as that.”

Why should I care or you care? Schools are not local any more. Our federal tax dollars get wasted on piss poor academic performance and generations of illiterates that have been taught to turn to government and our tax dollars for their very existence.
Little boys are being taught to be faggots and will lack all ability to defend our nation. They will be a bunch of basket cases that lack the manhood to defeat our enemies.
I pity the poor kid who farts in class. Will be arrested and charged with passing a WMD, waging chemical warfare, and noise violations.
To the wall!!
Yes, Virginia, we do have dumbasses running our schools in Virginia.
Uh, no, it's not.

A pencil pointed at someone in a "threatening way" with "gun noises" made is a TOY, not a weapon!
Isn’t it frightening that the people of this country just don’t get it? We are giving our children and grandchildren a legacy of surrender before the first shot will be fired.
Someone needs to institute zero tolerance for insanity!
It’s so not right. How bent is the left? Up is down. Backward is forward.
My lib influenced step daughter (not the one who had me build a 20” barrel coyote ready AR as a present for her husband) got upset because her boy drew a picture of a gun. I told her 10,000 years ago he would have been drawing clubs on the cave wall, get used to it.
Watch for the left to ban bananas next, they are shaped like guns..when Commies take over our schools nothing good ever comes from that
These zero-tolerance policies are permits for abusing children.
They can’t ban bananas because they need them to teach kids how to put a condom on!

Folks- when states begin passing ‘anti-bullying’ laws and set up their ‘zero tolorance’ mandates, you will see a LOT more kids beign suspended and a LOT mroe Chrisitans beign suspended for proclaimign God’s word-
The insanity has only just begun- when the anti-bullying laws go through- be pepared for absolute insanity
[[I pretended everything were guns.]]
Yeah- the good old days when kids were allowed to be kids and didn’t have to be grown ups before they became 18- nowe we expect kids as young as these kids ot know and understand how dangerous pencils can be when fully loaded
[[We are at the end...pack your bags and collect your things. Here it comes! ]]
Possibly, however thigns were bloody aweful back durign time of romans, the tiem of Noah, the cities of soddom and ghomorrah etc- we’re actualyl still ‘fairly civil’ compared to those cesspools
[[When I was a boy we used the ubiquitous cap gun. We “shot” at each other:]]
Heck, when we were kids we used BB guns and shot at each other with htem (yep- it was Stooopid- but by golly it was fun if painful at times)
AmeriKa! Raising pu$$ie$ since 1968....
Yes, we had BB guns too, but rarely (although occasionally) shot at each other.
No Bethanne, "gun noises" don't transform a pencil into a firearm. Pointing a pencil is not a serious threat of violence. Only a drooling cretin would believe otherwise.
You and your enablers obviously have no understanding of or empathy for boys.
Yes. As a little kid I was armed to the teeth and went into battle daily.
