America's kids have been suspended for pretending that pencils were guns, but an Ohio school may have topped that. A 10-year-old student at a Columbus elementary school was handed a three-day suspension for making a finger gun and pretending to shoot a classmate. The suspension letter more formally referred to his weapon as a "level 2 lookalike firearm," reports the Columbus Dispatch. Devonshire Alternative Elementary School's principal says students have been frequently told not to play pretend gun games, with a district rep saying kids were warned consequences would follow.
Those consequences hit hard last week for fifth-grader Nathan Entingh, who says he was "just playing around"; the rep said Nathan pretended to shoot another student "kind of execution style" in the head. And the "victim" didn't even see the mock execution, which was instead spotted by a teacher. Nathan's dad seems dumbfounded: "It would even make more sense maybe if he brought a plastic gun that looked like a real gun or something, but it was his finger." (Almost exactly a year ago, a Georgia teacher was suspended over a finger gun of his own.)
Is that a finger in you pocket or are you just glad to see me?
So, if Frank had his stuffed leopard, Spot, and aimed it at someone and said “Pow!” what level of Lookalike Firearm would that be?
They “punished” him by not requiring him to hang out with drooling liberal morons like usual? Guess that makes sense, they “punish” him for a non-crime with a non-punishment.
Main Battle Tank level:
I guess my David vs Goliath sling is right out then as well.
Can’t be too careful ... it might have gone off.
Frank (who is 4) is excited. Now both Spot and Stripe can be tanks, not just machine guns and buzz-saws.
“I sure am glad those fingers ain’t loaded!”
;^)
Revell Rocks!
Lol
Liberals are control freaks and this is just part of their agenda.
They will never understand the right to keep and bear arms, much less the right to have and point fingers.
I would like to see an auditorium full of students rise up, fingers pointed and start shouting,”Bang, Bang, Bang”. Do you think they would suspend the whole school?
The idea is to criminalize the thought of a gun.
They have absolutely no right to suspend a kid for this. This is not a threat. It is a game, as all kids play.
When will the public rise up against the school fascists?
When I was a kid, if it was that easy to get off from school, every boy in the class and some of the girls would be pointing finger guns at the teacher, with full sound effects!
Never.
If it hasn't happened yet, more outrages won't do it. We have become inoculated to it.
“The idea is to criminalize the thought of a gun.”
Exactly. Brainwashing like Eric Holder wanted.
“When will the public rise up against the school fascists?”
The public does not know what goes on in school. These finger-pointing events are merely the tip.
They show Supersize Me, Fahrenheit 911, Inconvenient Truth, Bowling For Columbine, Amistad, as well as other propaganda movies. Then there are the GSA clubs and setting up safe houses, and even this is just the tip. Oh and how about extralegal actions, like suspending a student drug dealer, without involving the police?
The kids never say what happens in school.
I want to know the names of the administrators that designed and implemented this policy. That’s all.
