Once again, the anti-gun fanatics are running loose in our children's schools.

And this time they are punishing a kid who did the right thing! As a mom, this one has steam coming out of my ears.

First-grader Darin Simak goes to Martin Elementary in New Kensington, PA. On Wednesday he went to school just like any other day but, when he arrived, he realized there was a toy gun in his backpack.

What did Darin do?

Darin tried to do the right thing by immediately bringing the toy gun to his teacher and explained that “he knows he’s not supposed to have it.” His mom, Jennifer, said, “So I send my child to school. My child discovers a fake toy gun at about 1:30 p.m. He turns it in to the teacher and he’s sent to the office and suspended.”

What life lessons did this kid learn from this episode??? Were they positive lessons????

He learned that the truth will get you the shaft when dealing with asshats (Politicians, Government Officials Schools etc)
Yes they were positive. He now knows better.

The kid is learning what many of us have learned over the past few years ... government, and the people who depend on government for their salaries and lifestyles, are, generally speaking, officious, intolerant, conformist enforcers for the progressive totalitarian state.

The only way we can defeat these people is for every parent in every public school in this country have their children carry a fake pistol in to school every day. And they should instruct their children to go to school and say “BANG YOU’RE DEAD”. I mean from K1 to K12, every day. And they should also have every student wear an NRA T-shirt. If we do this, every day, until they finally say “OKAY, WE SURRENDER” and never again will they make any more very stupid “REGULATION”, ever again.

“This crap won’t stop until the idiots who are doing it are quite literally dragged from their taxpayer financed offices and horse whipped in the public square.

I’d pay good money to see that.”

Educators are overwhelmingly a cohort of collectivists - which in a land predicated upon the individual, amounts to walking/talking treason.

Horse whipping or caneing will not change the mind of an indoctrinated collectivist. Organ banking removes the treason and is a small amount of restitution considering the enormity of the damage the educator class knowingly inflicted on America.

Additionally, organ banked educators won’t draw pensions for services they knowingly did not perform while in the class rooms.

Just as an aside, how many black or Hispanic kids have been expelled for anything” How many black kids in schools have been gunned down. Just asking.

I have a grandson in 1st grade and I always think of him and worry when I read stories like this. Then an incident did happen with him. Three weeks ago, my daughter asked me if she could borrow my lunch bag for her son to take lunch to school and I ok'd it.

I got a call from her later in the afternoon. I had completely forgotten that I keep a steak knife in one of the pockets. Our grandson told his teacher about the knife. He was praised for informing about it & they kept the knife in the office until my wife could go and pick it up.

That was it...I was in total amazement. No suspension, no swat team, no idiocy based on zero tolerance, just that he did the right thing by informing the teacher.
So I'm glad to say that common sense prevaled in this case - a very rare case. We need to return to this level of reason.

“Hope this hasn’t permanently screwed with his head.”

On his first day off, his dad took him to the amusement park to reward him.

Tough lesson for the kid to learn that the Left is not to be trusted.

There’s hope then.
If he’s smart he has already fathomed out from this that his Teacher is an idiot.

Teach your kid to never trust a back stabbing liberal.
Tell him to just stay quite and say nothing if ever in a situation like this........................................................

And deny, deny, deny.

When I was a kid all of the teachers had a drawer full of confiscated water pistols. Some would even return them at the end of the year. Wonder what teachers today put in that big bottom drawer.

New state law: The Common Sense In Authority Law.

This applies to school superintendents, administrators, teachers and others in authority.

1) Magic is not the same as reality. A picture or model or text or oral description of a gun is not a gun, and pretending to shoot a gun is not the same as shooting a gun. If an adult cannot distinguish between the two, they should not be in a position of authority.

2) Adults in positions of authority are authorized and expected to administer many varieties of discipline. Attempting to abrogate this authority by summoning police officers to deal with non-emergent disciplinary situations indicates that these adults are unsuitable for positions of authority.

3) Likewise, when police officers respond to a non-emergency school situation involving a minor discipline matter, they should both refuse to do so, and even consider issuing the responsible adult a citation for filing a false report.

What life lessons did this kid learn from this episode??? Were they positive lessons????

1. Government is out of control.

2. "The authorities" are often idiots, lack common sense, and have no moral or intellectual integrity.

3. Never trust stupid people, and "conventional wisdom" that you hear parroted constantly is usually wrong.

So yes, I'd say VERY positive lessons! Normally it would have taken this kid till the age of 30 to chuck liberalism. With libs help, he's done it in 7!

The punishment for breaking this “Level 3 offence” is expulsion for “a period of not less than one (1) year.”
