Stick gun Suspension

I saw one of my kids doing that at recess the other day. I did nothing. Scandalous.

You should be ashamed of yourself, Josie. How dare you let your kids run around with military-grade weapons.

I still have a scar over my eye from popping my head up and catching a pine cone hand grenade to the face in a drawn out play war one year on the school playground. It was carnage all over the monkey bars/Gitmo style detention center. Chocolate milk still reminds me of the escape attempt when so many of my friends fell because they forgot to call force field on.

Hope the ATF under Obama cleaned up all the unexploded ordnance before Trump gutted them. Think of the children.
 
Stupid on the schools part. Glad my daughter didn't have to go to school with these type policies.

Amazing how some of us were able to grow up playing dodge ball, king of the hill, war games with play guns, no seat belts in the vehicles, etc. I bet the majority of us are not violent people, fought for our country, open doors for people, give up a seat on mass transportation to someone more needing, look out for our neighbors and help them when they are in a bind.

I am sad that the little girl got suspended for having an imagination in play. Just not right.
 
That is insane. At least I can take comfort in knowing that isn't the norm because you know similar games are played on countless playgrounds every day and we only hear about these cases every few months or so.
 
It's insane to think that when I was a child it was normal to play with paper toy guns. Now, it's blasphemy. You can thank the thugs and lefties for that one.
 
Hoke County is a Democrat stronghold in NC. This is not surprising to me, based on where it happened.

the officials who made this call should lose their jobs, be barred from ever having another job in this field and then personally sued successfully in their PRIVATE capacities by the parents of the child.

BB gun fights, "Smear the Queer", snowballs with ice and/or rocks in them, sword fights with broom handles, practicing "pro-wrestling" moves on our little sister, damming up creeks to make swimming holes, building model cars - blowing them up with firecrackers and them rebuilding new cars out of the scraps and blowing them, rifle in the gun racks in our trucks at High School (I remember the day there was deer hanging in the auto shop after someone shot it during lunch).

Yep, Did many of those same things. I highly doubt if either of us are terrorists, murderers , etc. How times have changed.
 
Zero tolerance is a good thing, especially when applied to teachers. If you are stupid, you are suspended from your teaching job....
 
Quote from linked article in OP:
Caitlin was back in school on Tuesday, but her mother is having trouble explaining the reason for the suspension.
My answer: "Caitlin, honey. Sometimes even adults do stupid things, and unfortunately sometimes you just have to deal with it.", or some such variation. The basic point would be that adults can be stupid, too.

Lessons about picking battles, the idiocy of 'zero tolerance', etc., would follow in due time. No need to overwhelm a 5 yr old.
 
Guns like that are so common they grow on trees. *First*
I 'liked' it...but only because it was so obvious and sooooooo bad....
 
THAT'S IT!!! We need to get rid of all trees that a child could possibly play around!
Sure...and then they make finger guns and we make all kids were mittens.
 
Poor kid, having to using a stick. I bought my kid this last week:

Of course, I had to sight it in for him first.

I hope you've taught him that the arm brace of that SBR is not to be shouldered. ;)
 
Of course! It is full auto, after all.
