Education School tells Missouri boy his 9/11 souvenir violates school weapons policy
A souvenir shell casing handed out by veterans at a 9/11 ceremony landed a seven-year-old Missouri boy in hot water when he took the keepsake to school.
Sherry Falke said her son, Zane, forgot he had the souvenir in his pocket when he showed up for class on Tuesday, Fox4KC.com reported. The boy was given the souvenir at a Sept. 11 memorial ceremony in Carrollton, Mo.
"He felt it in his pocket, and he took it out and was showing some of his friends at school," Falke told the station.
"The principal proceeded to reprimand him as though he were bringing live ammunition to school," she said. "I understand that's in the policy, in the handbook, that they can’t bring guns to school. I fully support that, but it's an empty blank casing."
Falke said her son's teacher seized the shell casing and took him to the principal’s office. She claims they Zane he could be suspended from school for 10 days, but instead gave him a silent lunch where he sat by himself and missed two recesses.
“The people in most schools would have no idea what a p38 is.”
I have one on my keyboard at this moment. Was beside the keyboard, I picked it up, fondled it, and laid it in front of me...survival tool, you know...Mil-J-0837 is stamped on the one I have. 55 years ago we found them in out C-Rations.
We called them a “John Wayne”
It IS time. We are being nudged, shaped and punished until we will board the damn trains, cheerfully.
It IS time.
Some will....
I will NOT....
Spent casing has an empty open end that is rather obvious even at a glance.
You know something Dark? I am impressed. I mean I read some incredibly stupid crap between the screaming Romneybots and the PDS Brigade pretty much regularly. But this one stood out. With ‘conservatives’ like this filling our ranks, who needs liberals? Really?
Which is of course why the conservative movement is long overdue for an enema. It has been impacted with this crap and needs a good dump.
Yeah, it may fall on the floor and cause 50 kids and staff to fall down on it....
I recommend every set of shoelaces are confiscated at the door- they make great ligatures/garrots you know....
You are serious, aren’t you? THAT is what scares me.
7.62X38 Nagant Revolver casing cannot be distinguished from live rounds without inspection.
(Of course that's the *only* round of this type with which I am familiar. And yes ... I'll bring it to the Shoot.)
I suppose Rav0n subscribed to the arpeture science philosophy: the entire round goes downrange casing and all.
What q wonderful respectful gesture to the military member and his/her family.
Thank you for doing that even if it meant you had to dress up.:)
Agreed. Cheerfully. :)
My Dad was buried with military honors in April of this year. Afterwards my step mother was given the shell casings. She had each one engraved with my Dad’s name and the date of his burial and gave one to each of us kids, her kids, and each of our oldest children. It is something that will be treasured by us all.
Zots are more effective...
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
LOL!
See ya!
That’s it?
You’re usually more humorous on this issue.
LOL
Dude was a dork.
The AM did good and was dead on the mark.
