MOUNT CARMEL, Pa. (AP) A 5-year-old Pennsylvania girl who told another girl she was going to shoot her with a pink toy gun that blows soapy bubbles has been suspended from kindergarten.
Her family has hired an attorney to fight the punishment, which initially was 10 days but was reduced to two.
Attorney Robin Ficker says Mount Carmel Area School District officials labeled the girl a "terrorist threat" for the bubble gun remark, made Jan. 10 as both girls waited for a school bus.
Ficker says the girl didn't even have the bubble gun with her and has never fired a real gun. He says she's "the least terroristic person in Pennsylvania."

Maybe it’s time to show the K-5 crowd the abortion the Liberals passionately promote.
Did they give her a beatdown? After all, she’s a terrorist.
She was interrogated for half an hour without her parents being present, and she now has to undergo psychiatric evaluation.
I guess the poor kids can’t say “ Ah shoot” when they spill something. School administration fools will think they said “I shoot”.
Pennsylvania> Once a great state. Now just another leftist cesspool on the eastern side and Pittsburgh.
Take back the School Boards and start firing the leftists for “cause” - i.e. be-cause they are fucking crazy and a clear and present danger to the kids.
When I was a kid, we used our BB guns to play cowboys and indians. We knew that we didn’t actually shoot them while playing the game and nobody ever got hurt.
I’m still puzzled by this whole incident. If schools want to punish a kid every time they make an idle threat, they might as well suspend them all. Kids are kids, they say stupid things all the time.
What happened to reasonableness?
Thanks for the link.
This is from a Yahoo news article on the suspension.
I think it's one of those semi-automatic Glock assault weapons with armor-piercing bubble ammunition.
