WTF??? Kindergarteners had to apologize? For what? This is insanity. Why did they need to apologize to anyone? Its Orwellian.
The toy was clearly not a gun or even a replica - if we were to allow that replica guns have been used in crime, and thus to provide a school the fig leaf to ban them.
Even with “zero tolerance” this is beyond the pale.
Once the school made the kids apologize, it shows that officials clearly understood the nature of the toy. Detention is completely unwarranted.
What next - criminals must apologize, serve time out and then it stays off their permanent record?
