And the insanity continues.

Part of the problem? This guy is considered "reasonable"

Quote:“A kid putting his finger in the shape of a gun and pointing it another kid, that’s inappropriate and there’s no question that something happens as a result of that,” says Russell Skiba, an education professor and discipline expert at Indiana University, at Bloomington. “But there are probably 20 different options that are short of sending a kid home for this type of incident.”

I wonder if the punishment is the same for flipping someone the bird? Or is that a free speech issue?

Would you also get suspended if a turd looked like Barack?

Quote:Officials at Devonshire Alternative Elementary School defended their decision to suspend 10-year-old Nathan Entingh, whose hand they designated as a “level 2 lookalike gun.”

You've got to be kidding me. And a lookalike gun is still not a real gun. There is no danger.

Thought we shipped all our guns to Mexico.

Apparently this is a level 3 gun lookalike.

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but 5 years ago, when my son was being picked on by two girls, he told them he hoped the Grim Reaper visited them in their dreams. He was suspended for 3 days.

There's a reason that Skiba is in a University setting.

Couldn't hack it as a second grade teacher........ His reasoning skills are not too strong, either.

Inappropriate? It's simply a boy being a boy.

If fingers are outlawed the only outlaws will have fingers.
