Stop, Don't Touch, Leave the area, tell and adult... say it with me now....
Thee idiots are teaching children in the public school system?
Just get your boy out of that public cesspool...er..school and homeschool him.
The lunatics are in charge of the asylum.
We need to break the monopoly, not of state schools, but of Colleges of Education, that turn out the idiots we have for school administrators and teachers.
We are only hearing one side to this story. I think the "zero tolerance" policies are stupid. However, there is always another side.
I would like to know if the young man was asked about the non gun ( a pellet gun is not a gun in civilized society) before he turned it in.
No good deed goes unpunished.
"You're gonna shoot your eye out, kid."
Unfreakin' believable! Another case of "zero tolerance/zero brains" strikes again. It's beyond time to close these gov't indoctrination centers and get back to common sense!
touch the area, dont tell, stop adult, leave
Did I do it right? Was that close enough?
I'm having such a hard time....
Had he simply told the School authorities about the gun and the gun was gone when the authorities arrives, they would have probably expelled him for creating a false incident!
Huh???????
That's true, but history has shown us that usually knowing more of the story simply make the school officals involved look even more stupid, if that's possible.
What in the world do these "officials" expect to do if it ever becomes necessary to defend the homeland or their families? Just talk the enemy to death?
When did reason, rational thought and the ability to think and use common sense completely die in this country.
The "liberals" want gun hysteria. They're all a bunch of Dukaki. What a bunch of sissy wussies.
Sometimes, I think we're doomed.
One should NEVER take an article like this at face value.
Actually, history has shown that there is almost always more to the story; and it has also shown that the mediots typically get the agreed-upon facts wrong.
I've seen plenty of school idiots, but there's undoubtedly more to this story.
No doubt even telling someone about the "gun" would have gotten him in trouble, since he was, at some point, aware of it.
Just back away quietly. Tell no one. Forget you saw anything.
School Boards that implement and support such retarded zero tolerance policies should be held accountable, thoroughly humiliated, and then fired by the parents in the district.
I agree. There are definitely pieces missing here. Things in news stories are not always what they appear to be.
I'm sure the board is representing the views of those who elected them.
