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

Common sense left some people when political correctness took over.

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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

In elementary school, a friend of mine got suspended for having a soft plastic toy army knife that was broken, and had been wrapped in duct tape.

He wore some army camo cargo pants to school, and unbeknown to him, the “knife” was in one of his leg pockets, he was playing army in the back yard the night before, and forgot about it. He found it during class and took it out, the teacher saw it, and made him go to the office.

His dad tried to fight to get him to stay in school. He told the principal that he could do more harm with a pencil than a knife made out of tape!

I grew up in Obama’s home state of Illinois

This chit is a result of incompetent school boards.

Why have we conservatives not begun the drumbeat to reclaim school boards? All it takes is getting sensible people elected over a couple election cycles.
