A pretend game of cops and robbers landed a Florida elementary school boy with a very real suspension after he made a pretend gun with his thumb and index finger.
The mother of 8-year-old Jordan Bennett said her son was only playing with his friend at Harmony Community School in St. Cloud. She fears his one-day suspension, which was handed down Friday, wrongly labels Jordan as a violent person.
“There was nothing in his hand. He used his thumb and index finger,” Bonnie Bennett told WKMG-TV. “It was a game. He made no threatening advances or threats to harm anyone. No words were said.”
“They took a child that has never been in trouble before and went to the extreme,” the mother continued. “A child that has no history of violence is now classified as a violent offender.”
The school, on the other hand, said the game crossed the line established by the district’s code of conduct. A school representative told WKMG while they can’t give specifics into the incident, it was reviewed and found in violation of school policy. The school did not specify the specific code violation that was grounds for the suspension.

It’s an organized, Pavlovian conditioning they’re doing. Demonize the gun, and terrify the kid.
My strategy: Take a kid to the range, let him shoot REAL guns safely and properly, and by the time he grows up, you’ll NEVER get it out of his hands.
I’ve done it. I’m still doing it. It works.
Every single gunny out here on FR should be doing this as well.
This is how you counter the bullsh*t mind games the liberals are playing.
More parents who deserved this insanity because they were unwilling, too busy, too cheap, did not really care enough to do 1, 2 or 3 below:
1) Home School if you have the time and ability
2) Private school if you have the money
3) Non-union Charter school
Folks there really is no other option unless you are perfectly willing to let unionized teachers implement the very last items in the Communist Manifesto. They have been laying the ground work for decades and the vast majority of the country never noticed or didn’t care.
Sending your child to government school is child abuse but don’t worry, government will give you a pass on this one.
1984 or 1884? ;-)
Governor O’ Malley & Gov wantabe ___ in Virginia will probably call for law requiring the amputation of the thumb and 1st finger of all citizens to ensure they do not make ‘gun signs’ and thus scare people and teachers.
Harmony Community Indoctrination Center
So everyone should send their kids to “gun down” the principal with their fingers.
SHOW CONTEMPT
BE UNGOVERNABLE
Except the rest of the parents are probably a bunch of leftists.

DON’T WHINE AND GROVEL.
TELL YOUR KID HE DID NOTHING WRONG.
IGNORE THE ASSHOLES AND KEEP DOING IT.
AND GET EVERYONE YOU CAN TO JOIN IN.
Before the lousy teachers and minions completely destroy your kid.
