COLUMBUS, Ohio • A central Ohio principal says she suspended a 10-year-old boy from school for three days for pretending his finger was a gun and pointing it at another student's head.

The boy's father says he thinks it's the adults who are acting childish after the boy was suspended from Devonshire Alternative Elementary School in Columbus last week.

“Child hand registration coming soon to your Elementary Schools.”

It’s not the hand registration that scares me...it’s the confiscation that is sure to follow...

‘The kid had to be way out of control to even be there, ‘

Then this must be the child’s fault?

So then, you are saying that because children attend an alternative school that they must be out of control?

Academic Brief

Devonshire is a Project Adventure School. Our school themes include challenge, risk, trust, cooperation, and problem solving.

Our unique school program includes climbing walls in the gym and participation in ground level initiatives and high ropes courses at Summit Vision’s Outdoor Adventure Center. Our focus is to teach students “how” to think, not “what” to think. Our school has earned a state ranking of Continuous Improvement.

Some kids are put into alternative school for radiating the conservative values they pick up at home.

This is education lingo for we don't do academics. "Continuous improvement" usually means failing miserably academically, but maybe not compared to the year before. Do you see anything in those themes involving academics?

I'm not saying the school might not have gone overboard. But you know what? In that kind of fluid active environment the "school" has to make the decisions.

School kids nationwide should stage a “shoot-out” nationwide to put an end to this. One day soon, all kids should just start having play gunfights with their fingers. Let the schools try to suspend all of them.

Kids on strike for finger freedom!

Next, they’ll be chopping of those offensive fingers and hanging them in the principal’s office as a reminder to those who might think about using them. On the wal beside them will be the teeth used to chew AR15 poptarts.

We are sooooooo blessed in America to have a Vice President who NEVER forms his shooting hand into a finger gun!

All part of the attack on men, boys and masculinity. Boys like guns and knives and always will. I had cap guns when I was little and my liberal parents thought nothing of it. All the boys had cap guns. We would run after each other and fire the cap guns at each other.

The feminized men and the feminazis who run this school are trying to castrate this poor kid.

Prostitutes have more respectability than lawyers, politicians and politically-correct educators.
