MOBILE, Alabama (WPMI) – An Alabama mother is furious that her 5-year-old daughter was forced to sign a school contract stating she wouldn’t kill herself or anyone else at school.
School officials told Rebecca, who did not want to give her last name, they had to send 5-year-old Elizabeth home after an incident in class.
“They told me she drew something that resembled a gun. According to them she pointed a crayon at another student and said ‘pew pew’,” Rebecca explained.

... and be put on a national list of known child abusers.
“We generally confront issues in life at the appropriate time. Adding in certain concerns at inappropriate times can confuse kids and cause them undo angst.
That’s my layman’s opinion.”
BINGO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
For a five year old to commit to “never” for anything is a stretch.
/sarcasm
Thanks Mears.
Hey, if the kid wasn’t planning on doing anything wrong, what’s the problem with signing the contract?
When I was in high school, our favorite game was “killer”... where we would assassinate the other players in the game. Started with water guns, but moved to guns that shot plastic projectiles when it was obvious that leaky water guns was an issue as you went through the school day.
To get a legitimate kill, there had to be two or less witnesses and you had to shoot them too. If a teacher saw you playing the game, they would confiscate your weapon... and you would spend the rest of the day running for your life (unless you had a backup).
Later on, we added a rule where if you wore a mask then you could kill in public with any number of witnesses, but anyone could shoot you. I had a period off (I took calculus 4 days a week at a local university) and I remember on a Wednesday when I stepped into a spanish class with a pillow case mask (complete with a happy face) and sprayed the room with plastic discs.
Fun times...
I cringe when I think what a modern school administration would have done to us.
The pew pew pew gun made me LOL. And that’s a difficult thing to do these days. Thanks.
Oh the horror of a 5 year old girl holding a crayon and saying “Pew, pew.” !
Actually I am glad to see the tradition of saying “pew,pew,pew” still lives on. She sounds like a normal American kid to me, a rare thing these days. She has not been programmed by our libtard overlords yet. Rock on, little girl, don’t let them break your American spirit.
Pew must be with a silencer, or when using a Star Wars gun.
Bang is used without a silencer.
Everyone knows that.
For a five year old to commit to “never” for anything is a stretch.
Most 5 yo’s cannot spell.... never...
Why didn’t the school require its students to sign a contract to be law-abiding American citizens?
I agree. My comment was meant to be both satirical and serious, and I believe we are on the same page. To wit, I have tried to imagine being a 5 year-old in today’s school system, trying to honestly recall what I felt and thought when I was that age, and am quite sure that I would have lost my fragile little mind back then if I was being indoctrinated with the same perversions being pushed upon children today as “normal” or “acceptable”.
They are thinking that they can break the “gun culture”.
I agree with that. I would have been confused by it.
First of all, I didn’t know where kids came from at that age. It wasn’t a concern of mine.
Now all of a sudden you have to confront what mom and dad are doing, and then what the two big men down the street are doing, or what the two old ladies next door are doing?
Gag me with a lollipop stick!
This is a form of insanity adopted by modern liberals.
Don’t these warped administrators see that it is not the little girl who has a problem here? This 5 year old is just being a five year old. It is themselves that are the looney bins.
This is taking political correctness to the edge and then falling over the edge. Time to push back at this absurd behavior by the libtards. Words escape me.
Oh I’m sure that’s true.

Okay kids, open your math books to any page. I don’t want to you feel inferior, so any page will do, but I would like you to wind up on page 17 as some point.
Okay. Before we begin, I need to say guns are bad. Can you repeat guns are bad?
Okay, very good children.
Now let’s read opportunity one. Tawanna had an apple and Kineesha had an apple.
Okay. Before we move on, I need to say guns are bad. Can you repeat guns are bad?
Okay, very good children.
Okay, how many apples do the girls have. 11? That’s right Pedro.
Yes Susie? But teacher, that’s two. Susie, there are no right or wrong answers here. 11 is acceptable too.
Pedro, you and Susia both have good answers. I am proud of you. Here are gold stars. Go put them under your name on the bulletin board.
While you do that, I need to say guns are bad. Can you repeat guns are bad?
Okay, very good children.
Okay, now lets look at opportunity two, with Quanell and Kiebanna. They have two eggs and three eggs.
Before we go on, I need to say guns are bad. Can you repeat guns are bad?
Okay, very good children.
So how many eggs did we have...
You like that one, huh?
God is great, people are crazy...
You’re not far off the truth on that.
They would have a cow if the kids brought squirt guns...can you imagine the hysteria ?
Total lockdown...criminal charges, kids go to juvenile detention....the parents facing criminal charges.
I agree. Of course if it was an Islamic Crescent saber, everything would be very interesting and something the kids would need to know.
