but getting tossed out of Chicago public school may be the kid’s first real break in his life....

Finally hit me: such school administrators are BULLIES.
On the vaguest pretext they become utterly abusive to exert their power and establish dominance - and nobody dares call them on it, lest become their next victim. Bullies.

None of this will change until lawsuits are brought against the abusive administrators which isnt likely due to the extreme levels of intimidation and leverage avail to use against the parents.
The admin are rewarded every time this sort of thing makes headlines....

If they had this policy when I was 11, you better believe I’d take full advantage of it!

Have recently retire from several decades of public school teaching, I would like to say that when administrators do really stupid thing like that, it hurts all of those who teach. Unfortunately, administrators, doing stupid things that hurt education, are not nearly rare enough.

8 yrs ago I was the plaintiff in an auto accident case and had a hearing at the county court house in Washington, PA. Upon entering I saw the metal detector and realized that I still had my pistol in my belt holster. Notified the deputy. He told me to go put it in my car.

Its a Government school in a Government city. I would expect nothing less from them. I have nothing but sympathy for any child in a government school especially in a Dem controlled city............

It’s tough actions like this that keeps the chicago murder rate so low. I guess.

Does this mean that they are going to start suspending Teachers? Because some of them are really dangerous weapons.

Hopefully he learned a lesson. Today’s governmental authorities cannot be trusted. They are not our friends.

Do you have to pass some sort of stupid test to become a school administrator?
Or are they deliberately making up impossible rules to demoralize our children?

John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author of A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State. In the process, school officials sent a strong, chilling message to this child and his classmates that they have no rights in the American police state. That was the 'message' the school system wanted sent...

Being punished for voluntarily turning in the toy gun will teach him a life lesson that no good deed goes unpunished—so don’t expect him ever again to do a good deed. From now on, he will take a cynical view of life.

A toy plastic gun is more dangerous than a sharp pencil?
