Zero tolerance strikes again!!!
« on: May 31, 2013, 12:16:48 AM »
Guess common sense is that rare these days it is a superpower

Quote
A KINDERGARTEN student in the US has been accused of "traumatising" other students after bringing a coin-sized plastic toy gun on to the school bus.
The young boy was forced to write an apology letter to the bus driver, given a detention and may lose his bus riding privileges over the incident, The Blaze reports.
The bus driver said the student "caused quite a disturbance" and left other children "traumatised", according to the boy's mother.
The mother, Mieke Crane, accused school officials at Old Mill Pond Elementary in Palmer, Massachusetts, of overreacting.
"I could see if it was, you know, an Airsoft gun or some sort of pistol or live bullets or something. This is just a toy," Ms Crane said.
She said her son did not equate the small plastic toy gun with an actual firearm or weapon and did not understand the school's zero tolerance policy on guns.
Did the school overreact? Let us know your thoughts below.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Idiocy abounds in this modern era.

Perhaps the little kiddies were afraid it would migrate up their nose and require a trip to the ER.

“I’ve lived the literal meaning of the ‘land of the free’ and ‘home of the brave.’ It’s not corny for me. I feel it in my heart. I feel it in my chest. Even at a ball game, when someone talks during the anthem or doesn’t take off his hat, it pisses me off. I’m not one to be quiet about it, either.”  Chris Kyle

Neither does ANYONE ELSE!  ZT & PC raise their thick but empty heads again.
What a crock of $#!+.
You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles; but at least they drive slowly past schools.

But it's perfectly acceptable to drag people out of their homes at gunpoint here!  Remember the marathon?

I weep along with Rabbit!!!

If any of my son's friends is ever "traumatized" by a miniature toy gun, it's time to take a close hard look at the type of sissies he's hanging out with.
Bravery and stupidity are often synonymous.  So are cowardice and intelligence.

"We Americans have been a rebellious band of freedom loving vagabonds from the very beginning. Our freedom from the crown and tyranny would not exist had it not been for the gun. That's a tradition we like to hold on to.  The same can't be said for the rest of you 'Subjects of the Queen'."--said to a Canadian friend who just doesn't get it.

All part of the plan.  

It is not about safety ...just about conditioning children to fear every thought or image of a firearm no matter how harmless.  The goal will be accomplished when a generation or two grow up firearms are evil except in government hands.


They will all grow up to be voters.

 
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Solus is correct, but Ihprop1 said it better  ;D

Here's a question for you:

We heard from the mother, and we heard from the family attorney.  Where is the father in this?  If it were my kid, I would be in jail for at minimum terroristic threats, but more likely assault and battery, and a school administrator would be sporting bruises and lacerations.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.
