An 11-year-old and a 12-year-old student in Colorado were temporarily suspended from school after they were spotted with an Airsoft gun and a toy gun, respectively, during their online lessons.
Story 1: 11-year-old Maddox Blow, who goes to Bell Middle School in Golden, Colorado, told the FOX31 Problem Solvers that he finished a quiz early at one of his online classes and got bored waiting for the others, so he took his Airsoft gun and started fidgeting with it.
The teacher noticed Blow playing with the Airsoft gun several hours after the lesson while reviewing the recordings. According to an email that Justin Blow, Maddox’s father, received from the teacher, “Maddox Blow was posing with what looked like a toy gun. He did this for a few minutes, showing the gun and putting in the gun clip on camera.”
A school resource officer reported the incident to a local police officer, who went to Blow’s house for a welfare check.

Answer: enough to eliminate every allahu akhbar in my given area of responsibility.
Pretty ashamed of what America has become. From the “home of the brave” to the “land of the snowflakes”
Home school, or if that isn’t possible, find some like-minded neighbors and a reasonable (finance-wise and otherwise) tutor to teach a small class. The Internet could be a great help. Because of health reasons (ruptured appendix and peritonitis), I skipped junior high school and made it up in a tutored class of about five students. The tutor was a Christian Scientist and very conservative.
Nice!
A+, You now can use the Belt Fed!
At a junior college in Texas we had "western week" when most students dressed in western wear (Stetsons, jeans and cowboy boots). Most carried gunbelts with cap pistols but a few carried real revolvers in their belts.
No incidents occurred, no shots were fired, nothing...but the Administration got nervous and the following year the pistol ban went into effect.
Yeah, they are that stupid.

Does school policy enforcement extend into homes?
Many years back when my then 3rd grade daughter was beat up by three 6th grade boys on the way home from school, we complained to the school who said they couldn’t do anything about it, because it did not happen on school property.
We then sent her for karate self defense lessons. Three months later when the same boys attacked her again, she broke the index finger of one, knocked out a front tooth on the second kid and broke the nose of the third kid.
When the parents of the three complained, we were summoned to explain our actions. We merely parroted the schools position that it did not happen on school grounds and that our daughter had exercised her right to self defense.
So, how can the school hold this boy accountable to something he did in his own home? Policy is just some bureaucrat’s written down rules; it is not law.
