Ohio 5th Grader Suspended for Pretending Finger Was a Gun?!

Did an Ohio elementary school jump the gun in its punishment of a 10-year-old?

Devonshire Alternative Elementary School in North Columbus, Ohio, suspended a fifth grader for three days after he pointed his finger in the shape of a gun at another student’s head.

Paul Entingh said his 10-year-old son, Nathan, was just messing around during science class.

"He asked his friend to borrow a pencil and when his friend dropped it, my son Nathan was playing around and he did that with his fingers. Pointed it at the kid, said 'boom,'" Entingh told Fox 28.

Paul and Nathan were on “Fox and Friends” this morning to discuss the ordeal.

Nathan said his teacher told him to get out of the classroom and go to in-school suspension for the rest of the day.

“Truthfully, I don’t know what message [the school is] trying to send, other than not to be a kid, not to have any fun,” Paul said.

The LIB/DIM mindset is to make all males capons. Feminize them and make them pajama boys and/or homos. LIBs/DIMs are mentally ill.

We need to make our children memorize the phone number of the local lawyer and just give that out to the school officials . Liberals love law suits so invite them to court and reams the over the coals.

My god... boys will always going to pretend that something will be a gun. my sister in law (thankfully ex, my wife's brother divorced her), didn't want her boys playing with guns. the boys used sticks, fingers or what have you as guns.

I guess, liberals would want boys to play with dolls (not GI JOE dolls).

Why haven’t any legislators proposed a law to eliminate these zero tolerance laws? This would prevent school admins from punishing kids unless they bring a REAL gun to school.

Where did you get that it's a private school?

Devonshire Elementary school is a public school.

Maybe they should frisk the rest of the students: my guess is that they'll find numerous others with the same weapon.

People who put their children in public school are asking for all of this crap. By now they all know what to expect and they are acquiescing. They have no legitimate complaint. If people actually cared anything at all about their children beyond the status children might bring them, they would not have their children in government school. I no longer have any sympathy for the parents of these children.

In a statement, Columbus City Schools said. It’s not a private school. It’s an alternative school. In the Columbus area, the term alternative most often refers to schools for unusually gifted students, not troubled ones.

That teacher should be fired for sending an armed student out into the halls.

ROTFLOL!

These kids are in the hands of total idiots that run and teach at public schools. Liberals are idiots.

If only he had unfurled a trojan on that weapon before pointing it.
