Education School tells Missouri boy his 9/11 souvenir violates school weapons policy
A souvenir shell casing handed out by veterans at a 9/11 ceremony landed a seven-year-old Missouri boy in hot water when he took the keepsake to school.
Sherry Falke said her son, Zane, forgot he had the souvenir in his pocket when he showed up for class on Tuesday, Fox4KC.com reported. The boy was given the souvenir at a Sept. 11 memorial ceremony in Carrollton, Mo.
"He felt it in his pocket, and he took it out and was showing some of his friends at school," Falke told the station.
"The principal proceeded to reprimand him as though he were bringing live ammunition to school," she said. "I understand that's in the policy, in the handbook, that they cant bring guns to school. I fully support that, but it's an empty blank casing."
Falke said her son's teacher seized the shell casing and took him to the principals office. She claims they Zane he could be suspended from school for 10 days, but instead gave him a silent lunch where he sat by himself and missed two recesses.
Looks like the mods said you are too dumb to be a FReeper and the system worked again. ZOT.
Thanks mod for stepping in. :) I have some words for the troll.
Gotta love the Awesome AM!
Great ZOT!
For now.
The Stupid is strong in this one and I expect it'll be back.
“But they were responsible for enforcing a school policy meant to protect the safety and well-being of the other students.”
Actually, it is more likely this vilification/demonizing of anything fire-arm related is part of an effort to erode support for the Second Amendment. Raise generation(s) fearful and/or hating firearms and ammunition then the gun-grabbers win.
“Imagine how little that would have meant to somebody like George Washington, John Adams, or Patrick Henry”
And imagine how they all are spinning in their graves over this school’s nonsense and those that defend it.
pencils are far more dangerous than an empty brass tube
“They realized it was harmless and gave the kid a minimal sentence of silent lunch. There was no zero-tolerance response and I would have been very critical if there was.”
Actually, they did execute zero tolerance when they “gave the kid a minimal sentence of silent lunch” even when they KNEW it was harmless. Zero tolerance mean punishment must to applied, regardless.
When a picture of a firearm, or a pop-tart chewed into the shape of a firearm, initiates zero tolerance better not bring a Massachusetts quarter to school: https://www.littletoncoin.com/LCC/html/images/4412-wc.jpg

If found on a child this would start a school evacuation and a SWAT response, no doubt.
In the late 50s my brother-in-law was stationed in Greenland. They were eating ‘fresh’ eggs that were dated during WWII but refrigerated for that entire time.
In my opinion this is a Second Amendment issue. Please see my Post 230.
Oh drat. . .I just found you Zotted him. . .and after I posted a few replies today. . .oh well. . .the air is now fresh and clear on this thread. . .thanks.
ROFL
My younger brother did that exact thing and kind of looked like that child! ;-)
