BTW the gun was about 3 inches and completely red in color.
confront, humiliate and outthink these pc a$$holes....that is what i have had to do with my kids, and for the most part it works ( confront a bully and they usually back down )
Gosh, I can't believe I just defended a public school administration.
Zero Tolerance = Zero Intelligence.
A plastic squirt "gun" is called a weapon, and they take it very seriously.
Then obviously they do not have normal healthy minds.
They'll take my squirt gun when they pry it from my cold, dead hand.
""We ask our principals for safety of students and staff, and we do follow the code of conduct and do not give exceptions to Class IV offenses. We take it very seriously," the school district's Phyllis Budesheim said.""
This woman is a complete idiot. She should be embarrassed.
It's official. We've become a nation of total pu**ies.
zero tolerance works. if you're a police state.
Amazingly, the same people who created this type of intolerance towards squirt guns and kids are the ones who like to claim that Muslims extremists are simply poor, misguided souls who need our understanding and tolerance.
In the old Soviet Union, fighter pilots relied on GCI (Ground Control Intercept) stations to tell them where to turn and what targets to engage. Most soldiers in the Army were not taught to navigate so they could not function without senior leadership. By removing people's ability to make decisions, Communism kept people in control.
The inability of some of our school leaders to make rational decisions is baffling unless you suppose they're practicing their own brand of Communism.
These idiot schools think, that banning squirt guns will prevent the usage of a real one.
And the narrow minded teachers think that "we are now doing something to prevent a problem".
They don't. The problem is at home. From the beginning of America people had guns at home, yet kids didn't take them to schools and didn't kill their classmates and teachers. It was not an issue until the second part of the 20th century. Thus, it has nothing to do with the guns. It is an upbringing issue, where kids today allowed to do whatever comes to their minds. Parents became robots who bring their kids up based on some hazy pink image of what should be right and wrong, which has little correlation to reality.

You know. A principal lets a white girl "get away with" possessing a Midol for menstrual cramps, and next thing you know, a black girl is caught with Ritalin that is not precribed for her, and some lawyer claims that there was racial animus in the disparate treatment of the two "offenses." Yes, there is a big difference, but who can trust courts to get anything right anymore. So they eliminate any discretion or judgement from the process.
A water balloon must be classified as a WMD then?
**Moultrie reported that the incident will stay on Tawann's school record.***
This is the part I have objection too. What right do they have saddling a 6 yo with a bad record?
I think it would be great if the NRA reached out to this boy and his parent(s) in an effort to positively impact his life and make lemonade out of the lemon this school shoved down his throat!!
Perhaps an all-expenses paid scholarship to a local PRIVATE SCHOOL. Then if he gets the grades, pay for his college too!
Instead of living his life as an example of what NOT to do, and bearing the stigma of all that entails, he would be given the opportunity to show how positive reinforcement and positive support yield a far better result.
Who knows, maybe he could grow up to be the Attorney that works hard to successfully restore the Second Amendment Rights to all Citizens.
Wouldn't *THAT be juicy! Unintended consequences and all that...

Meanwhile, the kids are still allowed to keep their sharpened pencils.
