I’d sue the hell out of the school ! What right do they have and more importantly, they have no jurisdiction over the kids when home. If this was the case, half the kids would be suspended. SUE em’ and get a Rolls Royce load of Air Soft guns! SUE THEM !!!!!
The families may or may not have grounds to sue based only on the suspension, but revealing the child’s prior discipline record would be definite grounds for a suit if that was not covered in the waiver they signed. The family could end up ‘owning’ the school and its administrators.
If I were the parent of any of those kids, I’d home school right thru high school, and never go near a public school again. By their sophomore year, I’d have them start taking classes at the nearby community college. Unfortunately, it seems one of the families doesn’t have a dad in residence, and is not well enough off financially if a sibling is in “Head Start.”
Remember when there were NRA shooting clubs (and senior smoking lounges) in the public schools and no one thought a thing of it, no busybody neighbors to make ‘uncomfortable.’
This is right in line with Clintoon’s it takes a village idiot philosophy. Liberals, like all good communists, believe that our children are the property of the state and only the state has the proper knowledge, ability and authority to raise our children. They believe that we as parents have no rights, we are simply the biological implements providing property for the state.
