According to the drawings I made in school, I posed a significant threat to NAZI Germany.

He should have drawn a picture of one guy doinking another guy. Then they could have celebrated his tolerance for lifestyle choices.....

I used to draw mushroom clouds and aerial dogfight scenes on my book covers. I guess I’d have been jailed today.

I was thinking the same thing, but I was in school in the 60s. I don't remember drawing guns per se, but almost every day I drew jet planes bristling with guns. Some of them looked pretty cool too!
Same here, nothing but F-14s, 15s, and 16s all thru elementary school and into junior high. Then for some reason girls became more interesting.

Thats nothing. For my public speaking and rhetoric class (public school, late eighties) I did a presentation on the mechanics of flint lock and percussion cap muzzle loading weapons. As a prop I brought in a bayonet from a Springfield musket. I didnt bother to tell the teacher about it. Ill never forget the look on her face when I pulled it out from behind the podium. For a second speech I did a presentation on how to make hydrogen filled balloons from toilet bowel cleaner and aluminum foil. Fortunately the teacher was young and relatively easy going.
Id be going to school shackled, wearing an orange jump suit, giving presentations on how to brew gin from apple cores if I was born 15 years later than I was.

My 5 yr old can draw and label the internal parts of a 1911. For extra credit he can tell you how each interacts with the other. He’s not physically able to field strip one right now, but by the time he is, he’ll be able to do it in his sleep.

I remember making guns out of modeling clay in elementary school. In fact - so did my friends. We would *gasp* point them at each other and pretend to shoot one another. We did get yelled at for falling out of our desks after ‘dying’.

If he had sketched porn, they’d laud him as a young artist..

There should be zero tolerance for this, but I’m old enough to remember when boys sketched guns, bows and arrows, spears, et al. There was a time when this was all w/o evil intent or connotation. Weapons were just toys my kids outgrew. Not so any more. It’s a new day.

BS. The weapons did not change. Only the limp wrist-ed wimp educators writing the rules changed.

There should be zero tolerance for this... If you think there should be zero tolerance for DRAWING a picture of a gun I truly believe that you're on the wrong forum....you might be more comfortable on other sites where the "Nanny State" is universally accepted.

Cleraly, they have held the picture in the wrong orientation.
If the picture is shown in the correct orientation (rotated 90 degrees to the left from what is shown in the article), then it will become clear to you as well.
Its a picture of a government-provided low-cost housing project. An environmentally-friendly carbon dioxide scrubber has been placed on top of the 5 story building, next to a rooftop garden of small trees. What is (incorrectly) seen as a trigger, is actually a multi-level atrium located above a wing to the housing project where a homosexual outreach center resides. The device next to the atrium is a satellite dish so that the residents can receive real news from real news sources, such as Keith Olberman, Bill Moyers and Howard Dean.
Sheesh, can’t these educators get it right, errrr, I mean left?
