This is happening in Iowa. The school system has gone insane.

[my small voice]

What a joke!!! IOWA, your school system is a joke!! How embarrassing!!!!!!!!

[BenLurkin]

I'm having a hard time believing this: “When they fire their rifles, they do it into the crowd.”

[Neoliberalnot]

Gotta remember, Iowa went with the Hussein.

[Logical me]

Communists liberal insane nuts at work.

[xjcsa]

I love that this story is now in the Iowa sidebar three times.

[albie]

If it was loaded the 12 year old would behind bars right now.

[xjcsa]

What a joke!!! IOWA, your school system is a joke!! How embarrassing!!!!!!!!

This wasn't a state-level decision and has nothing to do with the Iowa "school system." This was a decision made by the Des Moines school district, which is indeed making a joke of itself here.

[john in springfield]

This is just asinine.

[usslsm51]

We have to remember these are now Government Schools.

[DallasDeb]

Common sense left some people when political correctness took over.

[xjcsa]

Gordon said that even though they were empty, the shell casings are considered ammo, which violates the school's weapon policy.

And Randy Gordon is "considered" an educator. Neither statement is true: a shell casing is not "ammo," and Randy Gordon is a useless pantywaist douchebag, not an educator.

Yep! I can’t believe that every school in Iowa has A$$holes in charge of each one. The communist have infiltrated the schools but surely there are some common sense middle of the ground people left in charge of some of the schools? OMG!

[A. Morgan]

What’s next, examining the bumps on someone’s head and declaring “dangerous thoughts”?

[Last Dakotan]

You’re not a man in North Dakota unless there is a half-dozen of these rolling around the cab or box of your pickup.

[Da Coyote]

We must come up with a word which will adequately express the consummate stupidity of our “education” establishment.

The best thing we could do to our schools is to ban anyone possessing only a degree in “education”.

Why not get real scholars there?

[spodefly]

I no longer wish to share this world with “educators” that can’t tell the difference between an inert piece of plastic that was once a BLANK shell used in a cowboy show, and a weapon.

I do not believe a sane nation would expose its children to such imbeciles in any way, much less prop them up as “educators” in a failed education system, and leave our children to their idiotic indoctrinations and neuroses.

It is time to take out the trash.

[wardaddy]

Public schools and most privates are all like this.

even in conservative areas like where i live they do this and they teach history with race as the pivotal issue...it gets old.

my 4th grader gives em hell though...the teacher gets challenged

[Dante3]

Not only the school system in Iowa has cone insane. I read - assuming it was accurately reported - about the Polk County Sheriff William McCarthy crying over illegal aliens. The comments attributed to him were beyond dumb - a sheriff supporting breaking the law

[swain_forkbeard]

That, too, has already occurred.
