"The Post notes that the principal — Jennifer L. Young, according to Dowell Elementary’s website — told the boy’s mother that things would have been even worse had the toy gun been loaded with caps. In that case, the school would have regarded the plaything as an explosive and called the police."

The level of stupidity contained in that reasoning can ONLY be attributed to modern higher education.
You HAVE to have been taught in a modern college to be THAT stupid.

You seriously would pick up the phone and have the police come and arrest an innocent little kindergartener for having an explosive device because he brought caps and a toy cap gun to school?!
Because it's 'policy'?
You know, "I'm just doing my job" has lead to a lot of pits filled with dead bodies throughout history.
You, madame, are a danger to the children under your supervision.
