“A pencil is a weapon when it is pointed at someone in a threatening way and gun noises are made,”
No, it's just a pencil. If a pencil is a real weapon when a child pretends it's a gun then I guess my behind is a real wind instrument and a f@rt is a 'whole' note.
No that would be a cannon and a chemical weapon.
How stupid are these people? When I told my son he could not have sweets, it’s all he could think about. This ridiculous strategy may backfire.
The schools are doing backflips in an effort to demonize guns and by extention demonize you. Its easy to dismiss it as idiocy, in which case these people are too stupid to educate your children.
But its a conscious effort at brain-washing. Which means they are too evil to be allowed access to your children.
Get your kids out of public school.
“A pencil is a weapon when it is pointed at someone in a threatening way and gun noises are made,”
Well, if an LGBTQ pulls down his pants, and makes a gun noise, what is the school going to do?
Call his wee wee a weapon?
Or laud his courage and protect him from bullies?
Need to pass some new laws, I guess, to forbid this kind of thing!
With a little practice, you’ll be ripping out melodies.
From fox43tv.com: “And while Christopher can play freely at home, he says he won’t pretend to play with guns at school in the future.”
Suffolk school system: ‘Mission accomplished.’
The best thing that has ever happened to this kid is being thrown out of pulik skools. Keep him out and it could change his life for the better a thousandfold.
As a child I made Thompson sub-machine guns out of two pieces od wood. I rode a tobacco stick with a piece of string tied to it as a horse. We built cabins in the woods with hatchets and nails pilfered from my dad’s supply. We even climbed tall trees and sometimes fell out of them. I sat on the farm tractor and pretended it was a race car.My bicycle a tank.
Todays kids sit in front of the TV and wiggle their fingers to kill all sorts of people ,police included in their video games and this nutbag teacher wants to ruin this child’s imagination .
Bad enough to have her for a teacher. This child should just thank his stars she isn’t his mother.
I love yr post. Couldn’t have been said better. With all this crappy politically correct hype happening in the schools, I really wonder what the parents are saying. I am guessing that some of these parents are not all raging right wingers—many are probably not political at all. But when a school does this to your kid, you are suddenly going to get political. Keep it up teachers—you’re going to drive more and more folks to the right due to your idiocy. Since we are on this topic. I wonder if these idiotic SOB’s do the same thing in minority communities with little 6&7 yr old black and latino boys? A little boy is a little boy. They probably don’t do anything because their liberalness inhibits them.
This is known as "magical thinking", the supposition that one can alter the nature of reality at will. It used to be considered prima facie evidence of mental illness.
Today, it is considered a normal means of comprehension, and a reliable guide to decision-making, especially in the Liberal Indoctrination Facilities once known as "public schools".
No, Ms Bradshaw, that is a pencil being a toy. A pencil could be a weapon but gun noises would be superfluous. I suggest all children be limited to chalk and finger paints forthwith, because even a goose quill might, just might, be used as a weapon.
If the pencil had been black, mechanical and loaded with extra lead...An Assault Pencil!
My son told me they’re no longer allowed to make “finger guns” at school when he’s playing cops & robbers with his friends on the playground. He said it was dumb, and what should he do? I said “cops also carry tazers and billy-clubs...pretend to use those. Maybe play “Cops with Iron Man Blasters”, or “Cops with Rocket Launchers”...lol
I’m sure I’ll get another note sent home in the next few days.
It’s reaching the point where parents need to say, “Alright, you people are obviously too stupid to teach my child. We won’t be returning.”
Today’s teachers are so Politically Correct they have become stupid...void of any common sense what’s so ever! Whenever possible...home school your precious children or debrief them every day when they come home.
“A pencil is a weapon when it is pointed at someone in a threatening way and gun noises are made,”
A pencil is a weapon if it’s sharp and thrown at someone. This was not done.
“pointed in a threatening way” The boys were playing. There was a simulation of a threat, not a threat. Liberals don’t know the difference between an action and a depiction of an action.
“gun noises” A mouth can not make a gun noise. A mouth can attempt to simulate a bang, but it can not reproduce the sound of a gun. A reproduction of a sound is not the sound.
This is not insanity. This is mind control. This is an attempt to criminalize the thought of a gun.
“that policy has tightened up in recent years because of widely publicized school shootings. “
A psychopath shoots children, and a boy points a pencil and makes noises attempting to simulate the sound of a gun. What is the connection? Only a liberal with his head up his a$$ would see a connection.
