Principal threatens to expel third-grader over these awesome drawings

Yet another student has landed in trouble for having something that represents a weapon, but isn’t actually anything remotely like a real weapon.

This time, an Arizona couple pulled their eight-year-old son out of a charter school last week after school officials threatened to expel the boy for his colorful drawings of a ninja, a soldier and a character from Star Wars. All three figures are clutching guns and knives.

Scottsdale Country Day’s principal Steve Prahcharov — who for some reason insists on calling himself the headmaster — called a meeting with Jeff to show him his third-grade son’s artwork and samples from a journal.

Prahcharov highlighted certain parts of the journal that he saw as dangerous. The phrases that deeply concerned Prahcharov include “PG-13 version” and “pointed stick.”

Jeff noted that his son’s journal also contained passages about how the boy wanted to save the planet. The third-grader wrote of his desire to deter bullets and prevent atomic warfare.

There was also an entry about fleeing from a killer zombie. As narrated by Jeff, an excerpt read: “I’d open the window, but, stand back quickly. Booby-trapped! Shoot the gadget — a rope gun — I’d swing across without getting hit.”

Prahcharov told Jeff that he worried about the safety of the other kids at the school in light of the drawings and these journal entries.

Just never had the chance to go there . . . but I buy a lot of Tabasco sauce. Does that count?

The goal of the Marxists who run nearly all of the K-12 schools in this nation ( Public, Private, and Charter) is to produce a nation of girly metrosexuals who are completely incapable of defending themselves, their nation, or their families ( if they ever get far enough beyond Peter Panhood to be able to form a family.)

These Marxist-run schools ( government, charter, and private) are also a danger to the spiritual and mental health of girls, too.

Seriously...Why are these schools even open? There are counties and even whole states where, if conservatives and Christians simply removed their kids, the entire corrupt system of K-12 Marxist indoctrination would IMPLODE!

Remember,....Nearly every K-12 teacher in this nation ( public, private, and charter) was trained by Marxists in Marxist-run colleges and universities.

I doubt God will save this nation given how conservatives and Christians abuse their kids. It's a millstone thing.

One more thing....Is it just me or am I seeing an unusual number of swishy young men around and about in the community?

Likely there are good Christian and conservatives teachers in the godless and Marxist dominate government schools. Personally, though, I have never met one. If you say you are a good government teacher then I believe you.

The good conservative and Christian teachers are**vigorously** warning every parent and grand parent they meet to immediately remove their children from the godless socialist-entitlement K-12 schools.

They are vigorously and publicly protesting the nuttiness found in the schools.

They are vigorously warning their pastors about the danger to the congregation's children and stressing the urgency of getting these kids out of the godless influence and into a Christian setting.

They are joining with other conservative and Christian teachers to form powerful lobbies that would work to close down these evil schools.

These good government teachers realize that they will never be promoted, will be given the worst assignments, and may even have false charges brought against them and their reputations and careers ruined.

Again...Personally, I have never met a good government teacher, but I assume you are one of them.

As a third and fourth grader during the korean War, I used to spend hours drawing F86 Sabre jets shooting down Mig 15s. I suppose I would be in a mental institution today for doing so.

This kid has an active imagination and sounds like he wants to make the world a better place. What is up with all these left wing fools today. A charter school no less. I suggest these parents either home school or go to a purely private school(which Charter Schools are not).

or private school
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Here are three scary thoughts:

1) Nearly all the K-12 teachers in this nation ( both public and private schools) were trained by godless Marxists in Marxist run colleges and universities. The indoctrination continues into the highest levels of university graduate school!

2) Drive by nearly any of those Marxist run K-12 schools, colleges, or universities in this nation, and you will see schools stuffed full to the brim ( **willingly**) with the children of conservatives and God fearing so-called “patriots”.

3) The children are being indoctrinated by Marxists to hate their nation and heritage. The boys, especially, are being humiliated and drugged into submission. The Marxists are hard at work producing girly Peter Pans who are incapable of defending themselves, their families ( if they can figure out how to form one!), and our nation. The indoctrination of our youth is already having consequences in the voting booth, culture, and birth rate. It will only get worse.

Will God save this nation? I doubt it. Why should He when conservatives and God fearing parents mistreat their children in this way and subject them to such evil? ( It's a millstone thing.)

Well, stop abusing your kids then.

I hope someone calls CPS on you.

Well in our private school, it is probably a 50-50 split of “Godless Marxist” to conservative teachers. About the same as the real world in the good ole US of A.

Why should I pull my kid from the best education he could ever receive?

It will sharpen his critical thinking skills, make him be able to deal with people with opposing views and better prepare him for the onslaught he will get in college.

All positives in my mind.

Homeschooling and Christian schools are a lot like FreeRepublic. They all preach to the choir. They are great for that but the onion is never fully peeled.
