Uh huh, well I've put three through school. And having them labeled as bad at such a young age can be devastating, especially when they don't understand.

It is a normal thing to unintentionally violate a rule and then face a consequence.

Obviously, these rules are available to the parents. The parent should assure their child that this suspension is their fault, not their child's fault, as the child seems to have made an innocent mistake and the parent is primarily responsible for the student at that age.

A memo from a 5-year-old child to his liberal, mentally defective mommy:

Mommy, if it's your fault and not mine, why am I being punished?

A memo from mommy: Shut up. So, I didn't think things through, but, as a mentally defective liberal, I trust all the other mindless liberals working in your school.

Adults could stand to carry some. Be far less mass shootings in schools if they did.

As for toy guns...they're toys. The object is to play with them. In the case of a bubble gun, its to pop and play with bubbles. There is no common sense in punishing a child for playing with a bubble gun.

Columbine had armed guards.

Wait, I thought all the self-esteem stuff was just bad liberalness gone wild.

So? What would you rather have? No guards and have to wait minutes (up to 20 minutes in some areas) for a cop to arrive or have someone on site that could possibly stop someone intent on killing people?

Having guards is not going to guarantee that no shootings ever happen. Just like no law is going to guarantee that that no crime happens. But it is going to reduce the likelihood of a mass shooting happening. How many other mass shootings can you name that happened outside of a gun free zone?

No, just the liberal self-esteem crap. But you wouldn't understand.

So only conservatives should have self-esteem. Got it.

And completely accurate. Come talk to me when you practice what you preach. Until then, you have no room to accuse anyone else of being a hypocrite. I mean you can, but that would be, oh, what's the word when you lecture or condemn others about things you do routinely?

Why don't you just explain why you believed MP accused conservatives of being KKK or sympathizing with the KKK? Is it because you know you assumed that it was because MP is a liberal and you hypocritically objected to what you thought was a stereotyping of conservatives as a result of you stereotyping liberals?

Zero tolerance policies allow school administrators to hide behind a policy rather than make a decision. My 13-year-old daughter got an ISS (in school suspension) for having a granola bar that had peanut butter in it. The school's mistake? Not taking her Apple Watch. She was able to communicate with me, and things went downhill for them after that. See, she bought that granola bar from the vending machine in the school. She told them that and they did not let her go back to class. They did however, put an out of order sign on the vending machine. The assistant principal told me that she had no choice that my daughter had to do her ISS. Her opinion changed a little bit when I called my elected school board member's cell phone.

I can see sending a note home about the princess bubble gun. I can see maybe taking it and putting it in her book bag at the end of the day. But suspension was idiotic. It has now made the administrators of this school look like inept idiots that really have no power and are only able to do what the rules tell them.
