Magical thinking appears to have taken over the minds of school officials. The latest incident of a 13-year-old little boy in North Carolina suspended for drawing stick figures holding guns and knives confirms the tenuous grasp on reality of frightened teachers and administrators. WRAL-TV reports:
A middle school student in Sampson County was suspended over a doodle that showed stick figures holding guns and knives.
The incident happened several weeks ago at Roseboro Salemburg Middle School and the father of the 13-year-old boy said he can’t believe his son received a two-day suspension for what he calls a harmless picture.
“I see a guy in a race car souped-up. I see a tower that he build. I see him holding his gun, he’s a deer hunter. I see him with a magician and I see him as a Ninja Turtle,” James Herring said. “[He’s] just expressing himself, nothing violent.”
Herring said his son does have access to weapons that he uses for hunting, but they’re kept under lock and key. He said his son is not violent and wasn’t having any emotional issues when he made the drawings

Anti-social behavior means defending yourself against bullies. You fight them, you’re suspended for fighting.
I would surmise this kid is OTB hence was not protected by the "keep the numbers in balance" rules.
And maybe eventually end up with 17 dead? Kids are cruel nasty little creatures at times.
Ever notice how the bullies always make it look like the beat up kid started the fight? And if the kid does beat up the bully he gits his friends to “work you over”.
This child is clearly guilty of being a boy.
Better not be any index-finger pointing either because it looks like a gun.
Do like the kids in Broward county.
If you see a kid who looks “different”, ostracize that kid until he snaps.
To avoid being misunderstood, I was referring to the admitted ant-social behavior of that skin head Cuban lesbian.
Long ago and far, far away, I was placed in a position to kick a bully’s butt. He was like a puppy dog with me after said butt kicking. And he ceased bullying. At least if I was nearby anyway. In high school, one hit me from behind with all his buds around. I calmly told him to meet me alone after school outside the gym. No show. But he didn’t bother me again. Never did find out what his beef was with me. And I do NOT “ like” to fight.
>>This child is clearly guilty of being a boy.
Not a capital crime....yet. But the ongoing and growing War Against Manhood will eventually require chemical “adjustments”.
I almost got suspended because a tom-boyish thug of a girl broke her hand punching me as I merely walked down the crowded hall. Well, punching my shop project.
My parents got called in and everything. It only stopped because the principal intervened - but all the staff was ready to go despite my complete lack of similar record.
Why won’t AAs do as they’re told? #MiffedLiberals
If the parents actually cared about this stuff their children would not be in public school. If the parents are stupid enough or blind enough that that they truly do not understand how things are in the public schools then their children are probably not smart enough for it to matter. A pair of retarded parents will likely produce retarded offspring.
“I did it with a board flat to the face of my tormenter in jr. hi school and off the school grounds.”
For me it was lunch time in 7th grade, on school property with a branch from a nearby tree.
When I got my guy down I put the clod busters to him. Bruised his rib cage up good. Even got a parting shot to the family jewels then just walked off.
With him being twice my size I wasn’t about to let him up.
Funny thing was by the end of the day I was being talked up as the craziest guy in school.
By the end of the week even the older kids were treating me differently.
The next year a new kid moved to town. A buddy told me he had heard about my reputation and wanted to try me.
I had ag class with him so when I walked into the room and the teacher wasn’t there I just started slamming my forehead against the wall. When stopped and walked to my seat I had a nice trickle of blood running down my face. Never heard another word about a fight.
I figured faking crazy was easier than fighting.
