Boy does right thing, school suspends him
By Christian Boone
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
When 8-year-old Andrew Berry discovered he had accidentally brought his unloaded pellet gun to Newton County Theme School at Ficquett on Monday, he immediately notified his teacher.
He did the right thing by turning in the weapon, discreetly, said his mother, Kristy Berry, whose husband serves as a combat flight medic in Afghanistan. The principal told me [Andrew] handled it the right way, she said. So did the police.
But she said a school resource officer also told her son that he had broken the law. The third-grader was suspended for no less than 10 days for what everyone agrees was an innocent mistake. Andrew is scheduled to appear before a school tribunal on Oct. 31, day seven of his suspension, according to his mother.
He absolutely did the right thing by reporting it immediately. But a rule was still broken: A gun was brought to school. And there are mandatory consequences for that,

The right thing to do when dealing with leftist thugs is keep quiet and wait till school is over and bring the pellet gun home
You can’t win with these buttwipes. The only right thing with them is to follow there dogma.
This is going to come to a head soon. No sense becoming a martyr. Wait and you can become a warrior for liberty. Much better than a martyr
What is a “school rescource officer”? Another hack in an unneccesary position on the taxpayer dole?
Seriously? We are way out of whack in our society today. Seems like the boy showed more maturity than the administration. Good grief!
The public school system is essential to the establishment of socialism in America.
Instilling abits of conformity and obedience to petty tyranny is Job #1 for America’s school teachers.
It’s working! Forward!
This child should have never been placed in the hands of criminal union thugs.
In some areas its a PD kiss-ass assigned to hang out at a school and do absolutely nothing on the tax payers dime,whoops sorry, dollar.
This is a tool using family, kids learn to use tools almost as soon as they can walk.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a “school tribunal” before.
It is hard to do the right thing in a world that is controlled by stupid people, servants in our society is as the saying goes FOOLS IN PARADISE.
More like a Star Chamber.

Jawohl!
ALLES IN ORDNUNG!
Shut down the Pooblik Skool Collective.
Correct, the parasite that justifies their position with crap like this. See, they prevented another potential tragedy
“My grandson forgot to take his little Swiss Army knife out of his pocket and got suspended.
This is a tool using family, kids learn to use tools almost as soon as they can walk.”
Young “Tool user” meets older “Collectivist Tool”.
That is not a formula for a happy ending.
On the good side, that child now understands why socialism and socialists are bad.
But if he had brought a condom on a banana he would get all A’s.
Dad taught me how to sharpen it and said if he ever found it to be dull he would take it away, because “Yanking on a dull knife is how you get cut”.
I carried a knife in kindergarten and every school year after, always shaving sharp.
We puzzle over the reasons 40% of the population supports Obama but given the number of people who turn their children over to government indoctrination centers for 12 years I’m surprised the figure isn’t even higher.
