I’d sue the hell out of the school ! What right do they have and more importantly, they have no jurisdiction over the kids when home. If this was the case, half the kids would be suspended. SUE em’ and get a Rolls Royce load of Air Soft guns! SUE THEM !!!!!
This is a trial balloon. The next step is to expel kids whose parents are gun owners.
Hang on, before everyone goes nuts. There’s another side to this story. Apparently the kids were using these airsofts to hit other kids. Yes, they were on their property, but the bus stop is at that location, and they were firing at kids who weren’t playing along, didn’t want to be hit, and those things sting. Where I come from, that’s grounds for a good ass-whoopin by daddy(s). The school may not (for ONCE) be out of line here.
Airsofts are harmless. How does the school get to decide what they can do about actions on private property, not on school grounds?
First line in the posted article is incorrect.
The facts: the kids were on private property. The police had no problems with the kids playing. The one kid that disobeyed his mother should be spanked. The school district has no jurisdiction in this matter and should be sued to kingdom come. The school board members that voted for this should be replaced in the next election. The neighbor that called 911 should be openly ridiculed and made an example of what is wrong with too many women in this country.
Stepping off the soapbox, I have written what needs to be written about the pussification of American boys.
Homosexuality has killed and continues to kill people.
No one has been killed by and air soft gun.
Laz - the bus stop is 70 yards away. The school has nothing to do with this. If the kids didn’t want to be hit, it could be a mater of calling the police ad filing assault charges, but from the sound of all this, it’s more like the “concerned citizen” is just a hoplophobe.
This hoplophobe has irrevocably damaged the education of a minor. She should have a civil suit brought against her if there were no criminal charges filed in any of this.
This is not the whole story, there has to be more to it than this.
This is absolutely crazy. What’s worse is the nosey neighbor who called 911 instead of talking to the parents.
The caller also knew the gun wasn’t real and said so: “This is not a real one, but it makes people uncomfortable. I know that it makes me [uncomfortable], as a mom, to see a boy pointing a gun,” she told the 911 dispatcher.
What an idiot that mother is
The school is run by lib idiots who have no sense of proportion when punishing children especially boys. Give him a very stern warning and if he does it again...
Instead you have a bunch of sadist-zombies tormenting this boy and his family
If I was a member of the bar...
....I would handle this one just for the fun of it...
These school admins are like the inmates running the asylum...
....usually easy pickin's in federal court.
My humble only...
Not on school property, not during a school function. In loco parentis does not apply here. The school it treading on the student’s civil rights.

It may be. I don’t know for sure. But it is the same model the kid has been pictured holding.
These are the kinds of people the Republican Establishment is actually afraid of... FReepers who pray need to pray for this woman's kid; the likelihood that he will properly gender identify is not high.
Ten years ago, I would have agreed. Today, it seems pretty likely that this is all there is to it.
I wouldn’t wait until the next election. Move every one of them off now before they do more harm.
Regardless, Airsoft is still a toy.
