Teacher Gives Students Toys - Mother Calls Them Toy Guns
Arkansas NBC

A Rogers mother says she's upset after her first grader came home with a toy gun. Karen Young says her 7 year old came home with what she called a water gun on the last day of school. Young asked her child where it came from. He told her that his teacher gave it to him. Young says she considers the teacher an excellent educator but says this was a really bad decision on the teacher' part.

Assistant school superintendent Dr. Louise Standridge says the package that the toy came in says the toy is called a water squirter. It's in the shape of a fish. Dr. Standridge says the teacher had been teaching students about animals in the rain forest. "She thought the toy would be an appropriate favor to send the students home with on the last day of school at the end of their fish lesson," says Dr. Standrige. "She feels horrible about this entire situation." Dr. Standridge says the school administration takes every complaint seriously and the Rogers Public Schools regrets if any parent was offended by a teacher's intent to give her students a toy that related to the unit of study that had just been completed in class on rain forest animals.

Young says she has strict guidelines at home and she wants her children to understand that guns are not toys. Young says two of her brothers were shot in domestic disputes, her uncle committed suicide with a gun and she accidentally shot her ex boyfriend when the gun she hit him with went off.

Young says she isn't angry at the school. She just wants to make sure teachers at Lowell Elementary don't consider it appropriate to use toy guns to educate students.

Karen Young is apparently the results of extensive in-breeding

feminists and such "flame away"

My yuppie SIL got all cranked up last summer because I let her daughter and Caitlin play with squirt guns on a hot summer day.

They were pink and purple, for cryin' out loud!

Course, the silly woman also got upset because I took the designer outfits off of her kid, pot her in some of Caitlin's hand me downs, let her run bare-foot and just hosed her off when she got muddy....

It's a week in the country! Kids get grubby!

From Rogers, Arkansas -- home of the venerable Daisy Red Ryder BB-gun (you could put your eye out with that thing)... Too bad it's come to this.

[Condor51]

Your 'bold' paragraph pretty much says it all.

But what's scary is -- people like this VOTE!

Jeepers, when my son was about 6-7, I gave my son a squirt gun with the instructions that he couldn't squirt people. Unfortunately, he kept squirting people and I took the squirt gun away. Even though I had guns (broken apart for safety) in the house, he never bothered them. To this day, he never touched them. This woman is definitely overreacting. Sheesh!

[Jaded]

OMGawrsh. This woman does not need to reproduce. EVER. The items in bold speak volumes. Does this broad not know the difference between fish shaped and gun shaped?

[ExSoldier]

Yup, somebody obviously slipped into the gene pool when the lifeguard wasn't watching!

[Eska]

Have watched first graders (during free time) make guns out of legos. Just boys being boys.

[bannie]

In The Sound of Music, Maria had to make the kids clothes out of old drapes. I don't know what the kid's mom was so upset about? ;)

[bannie]

Some people just like to "pull rank" on teachers. It's a funny thing: Usually, it's those in the smallest gene pool and those with the least education who feel the need to do this. Inferiority complexes looking for a vent?

[gitmo]

And these weren't even squirt guns. They are squirt fish. My young'uns have some of these for bath time. Squeeze the little rubber fish underwater and it will fill up with water.

Kinda like those Amazon fish that squirt water to knock insects down into the river.

[F.J. Mitchell]

The lady must be terrorized when she visits the car wash, all those guns firing h2o bullets from every direction. Taking a shower must be pure hell. Caught in a rain show, she must think God is assaulting her.

Sad Case.

[F.J. Mitchell]

rain show=rain shower.

Young says two of her brothers were shot in domestic disputes, her uncle committed suicide with a gun and she accidentally shot her ex boyfriend when the gun she hit him with went off.

Actually, this woman and none of her spawn should ever be around a real gun. It is DNA defects like this family that cause problems with guns. Of course I'm biased. I don't any liberal should own a gun or hire someone with a gun to protect them.

[Bronco_Buster_FweetHyagh]

A water squirter in the shape of a fish? How does this have anything at all to do with firearms?

[MamaB]

Betcha they had more fun, too. Some mothers are too uptight and should let their kids have fun when they can. Gosh, they grow up too fast anyway.

[Larry Lucido]

accidentally shot her ex boyfriend when the gun she hit him with went off

I always taught my girlfriends to make sure their guns were empty before hitting me with it.

[evets]

She hit him with this?

[ladyjane]

Karen sounds like a real sweatheart. Good thing she didn't 'accidently' shoot the teacher the way she did her ex-boyfriend.
