Boy Suspended for Pointing Finger Like Gun
Newser ^ | 3/4/14 | Kate Seamons

Posted on 03/04/2014 8:26:45 AM PST by Impala64ssa

America's kids have been suspended for pretending that pencils were guns, but an Ohio school may have topped that. A 10-year-old student at a Columbus elementary school was handed a three-day suspension for making a finger gun and pretending to shoot a classmate. The suspension letter more formally referred to his weapon as a "level 2 lookalike firearm," reports the Columbus Dispatch. Devonshire Alternative Elementary School's principal says students have been frequently told not to play pretend gun games, with a district rep saying kids were warned consequences would follow.

Those consequences hit hard last week for fifth-grader Nathan Entingh, who says he was "just playing around"; the rep said Nathan pretended to shoot another student "kind of execution style" in the head. And the "victim" didn't even see the mock execution, which was instead spotted by a teacher. Nathan's dad seems dumbfounded: "It would even make more sense maybe if he brought a plastic gun that looked like a real gun or something, but it was his finger." (Almost exactly a year ago, a Georgia teacher was suspended over a finger gun of his own.)

Is there anything in the rule book which allows or forbids a hostile takeover? Pardon Me ... utilization of Nixon’s line. I and Am are almost as smart as he was. It did take two to make one though. Flame Wars coming ... I can smell it.

She’s to lie, supine, on her back, and put her feet up. It’s good for her circulation. And stuff.

There is an episode of Portlandia where someone points at a book in the Womyn’s Book store and the owner chastises them for making a penis-like gesture. That segment would be perfect for this thread.

The first three episodes are funny, then it is just a sad show.
