KDVR NEWS – A 2nd grader has been suspended from school in Loveland for a make believe game he was playing.

The 7-year-old says he was trying to save the world. But school administrators say he broke a key rule during his pretend play.

“I was trying to save people and I just can’t believe I got dispended,” says Alex Evans, who doesn’t understand his suspension any better than he can pronounce it.

“It’s called ‘rescue the world,’” he says.

He was playing a game during recess at Loveland’s Mary Blair Elementary School and threw an imaginary grenade into a box with pretend evil forces inside.

...

The boy didn’t throw anything real or make any threats against anyone. He explains he was pretending to be the hero. “So nothing can get out and destroy the world.”

But his imaginary play broke the school’s real rules. The school lists “absolutes” designed to keep a safe environment. The list includes absolutely no fighting, real or imaginary; no weapons, real or imaginary. ...

I am sooo glad I am not a child today. I can't think of the number of imaginary grenades I've thrown at idiots in authority over the years. I still do it today. Thank you, Vic Morrow, for my silent way of expressing disapproval.

Not that it’s any surprise to anyone here, but this country has officially devolved into collective insanity.

In liberal land there is no such thing as “evil” so the boy was being judgemental. Since there is no free will, there is no right or wrong, unless you’re a Republican, then everything you say or do is wrong.

I’m launching imaginary nuclear tipped ICBMs at those responsible right now.

The ENTER key is my imaginary launch button, and here it comes....

The kid should have told the gulag staff that he was tossing imaginary condoms to an imaginary gay pride parade.

The left is relentless.

Remember when political correctness started and we all laughed at how stupid it was?

Who is laughing now?

And this will continue until administrators and teachers hear (and fear) the words...

“You are fired”.

Take your sorry liberal *ss and drag it outta here.

NOW!

Loveland CO is close by Boulder CO which is a liberal bastion not unlike Berkeley.

I will assume that if He said he was attacking Rush Limbaugh’s house, he would have been applauded for being an open mind warrior.

Good thing he didn’t point his finger at a teacher. He may have been thrown in jail for attempted murder.

The indoctrination is working as planned. Condition the children to accept ALL authority is good authority.

The comments today are great, but this is the best.

The list includes absolutely no fighting, real or imaginary; no weapons, real or imaginary”

It is a short stretch from this to say no competition: sports, music festivals, art shows, ...

And then into the classroom: no scoring of tests (you are ‘fighting’ against other students when they grade on the curve). And no scissors (self defense weapon).

This stuff is not funny anymore. Hard to puke when you are all puked out.
