If only the kid had joined the "Choom Gang" instead.
“I’m sorry kid but that incident back in grade school with the pop tart ...we can’t hire you to work for the Department of Homeland Security because of it. It’s just too much of a risk”
A message from a resident of the communist state of Maryland :
HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the local hardware store was selling bbq butane lighters that were shaped like scoped bolt action rifles. I bought a couple and the next time I was in there he told me that he was told they were illegal because toys should have orange tips and kids could conceivably use these as toy guns....
think I will buy out the rest of his stock.
If I were that boys parent, I’d sue the school hard. Then I’d pull him out of that school and home school him.
This zero tolerance crap is going way too far.
Imagine this, "principal aardvark suspended a young child from school for eating a pancake into the shape of a gun, or at least it seemed that way to aardvark"
“Do not fear their fear [what they fear]”
Let them. I envision that it will be to the ridicule and shame, not of the lad with the mountainous pop tart that might look like a gun too, but of the system that did it.
Wear it like a badge of honor. And make sure your parents stick the taxpayers of that school district with multi million dollar court judgement as a reward for them standing back and doing nothing to stop this stupidity in its tracks. That school board and administration are dangerous animals and if the people paying their salaries won’t keep said animal on a leash then they get to pay up for the damage it does.
If only the kid had joined the "Choom Gang" instead.
It should be a badge of honor. In 15-20 years, he can proudly say: "Yeah, I was the 7 year-old kid who was persecuted by those asinine, vindictive, reactionary school ''officials.""
I think it is high time we pursue Gun Education instead of scaring our children for life psychologically. We live in a country that allows us to “keep and bear arms.” Let’s teach to a level that keeps our kids safe, instead of making a Constitutional Right something to be afraid of or worse as demonstrated by this loony result.
Oh...and in case you didn’t catch what I just said, let me repeat what they are doing to our children about our Constitutional Rights....
...instead of making a Constitutional Right something to be afraid of...
Time to flip the script and make “being harassed by public school authorities over non-guns” a positive. A feature, not a bug.
The parents are “fighting back” but they are still fools if if they keep their child in public school. Even it they get the terrible black mark “expunged” it will never go away, will be available for college use, and more such entries are being made in his records about his troublemaking parents. You cannot win in this sort of fight unless you can collect a a big enough bunch of damages to be able to afford to get the hell out of the state and keep the child henceforth OUT of public school anywhere.
And the jackasses on Capitol Hump think that the immigration system is “broken”. Geesh. Our public schools are a mess. A bunch of clueless morons.
It’s Baltimore——Pelosi’s Hometown. they elected Elijah Cummings.
O’Malley was Mayor there.
The guards in the jail provided dope and sex to the inmates.
Come on—does anyone really expect any common sense coming from there?
A 7 year old gets suspended and a permanent mark on his record for having a gun shaped pop tart, but a 13 YO will be able to get plan B without anyone batting an eye.
It’s tempting to call this madness. It isn’t. It’s fascists controlling thoughts. The USA has already become a totalitarian country. The government doesn’t have to be overtly fascist when there are dozens of institutions already doing the fascist work for it.
I think you can only buy those in the mall in Erie, PA

Ah, reminds me of the days when a few irate citizens would take the principal out behind the school and educate him.
Then they would have a new principal in a few days as the original one was suddenly “called away on business”.
This is at least 6 kinds of stupid. No way the school district wins this in court. Well it is Maryland....
