"Okay, pilgrim!! Draw!!"

Perhaps the school administrators were confused by a recent viewing of a John Wayne movie...

Holy Gumby!! The drawing looks like a sketch of a commuter rail car with a rudder and price tag!!!

An oxymoron if ever there was one.....

“Government schools” = taxpayer-funded campuses of McDonald’s Hamburger U. lab schools.....

In other news, 13 year old Achmed was given the school’s diversity award for his drawing of a dynamite-laden “jihad belt.”

Suspension for a doodle of a fantasy weapon? That’s crazy.
But there is another issue here. Why did this kid hand in homework with doodles in the first place? Doodles, regardless of the nature, are not for homework. It disrespectful. Kids should have pride in the work they produce. This is the foundation for their life, and work.

My German teacher was also a chemistry teacher. She had an annoying habit of pacing around the room. One day I mixed up a batch of "contact explosive" and sprinkled the wet bits around the floor. As it dried, it became unstable and "popped" when she stepped on the bits. She was no fool. The second time she heard a pop, she sent the whole class to pick up a copy of a discontinued German textbook that was being given away to get it off the school inventory. Lots of popping followed. Aside from some tiny iodine spots on the floor, no harm done.

My chemistry teacher made a mistake in class (some years after my attendance). The "demo" with sugar and potassium perchlorate detonated and blew off the end of the lab table. Not good. The thermite class project required gathering lots of red rust and aluminum cans. We spent a couple class periods chopping up enough material. A small sandbox was placed on the cement walkway outside of class. The materials were mixed, a magnesium strip added and lighted. We were rewarded with a nice blob of very hot steel.

Maybe the other kids could have drawn pictures of Kevlar vests, like the UK schoolchildren wear.

That was possibly the most brilliantly funny thing I've read all day.

...we ought to all draw up little gun pictures and mail them to the administrators responsible for this idiocy.

Maybe toss in a "Massachusetts" quarter, too.

“Son, I know you are upset because the school did you wrong. Cheer up, let’s go to the gun range for the next few days! Here’s a package of those new exploding targets you’ve been wanting.”

Now, if he had drawn Dubya with a bullseye like the MSM likes to sneak in, he would be lauded as a future valedictorian......

[Political Junkie Too]

Thank you. I rely on the brilliance of the readers, too.

One of the problems with such lawsuits against the public school system is that the costs,and judgments, if any, are almost always from public funds. The taxpayers who sue end up paying their own judgment, so to speak, while the idiot educrats are untouched. There needs to be a way to reach the miscreants personally to discourage this zero intellect mentality.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

There should be zero tolerance towards violence and threats.
Drawing a gun does not constitute a threat.
What this is really about is leftist-idiot school administrators who want kids to get the idea that all guns are bad all the time.

[Sue Perkick]

If he had drawn a picture of a building on fire, would they have to evacuate the school?

It will eventually be standard procedure.

Too many liberals moving to AZ. The Zonies of old would never have put up with this kind of anti-gun garbage.
