A 7-year-old Maryland boy was suspended from school for two days for shaping a breakfast pastry into what his teacher thought looked like a gun, according to his father.
FoxBaltimore.com reports that Josh Welch, a second-grader at Park Elementary School in Baltimore, was eating a strawberry tart when he decided to shape it into a mountain.
"All I was trying to do was turn it into a mountain but, it didn't look like a mountain really and it turned out to be a gun [kind of]," Josh told the station.
Josh, who suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, said his teacher was visibly mad when she saw that the pastry looked like a gun, according to the report.
I have relinquished my tenuous hold on any hope for this nation I love. We are officially down the "Rabbit Hole." And not in a good way.
We are effing done.
I weep for my nation.

I imagine they will be outlawing T-Square Levels from shop class because if the part is moved to either end, it then resembles a gun.

SWAT teams called in response to a man with a caulking gun .
Is the whole f**king country on acid ?

Strawberry Pop-Tarts are the weapon of choice of gang members and need to be outlawed.

Any pop-tart is bad. Look at the shape...just a bite or two along the long edge and ...There You Have it...The Evil Gun Likeness.
Any 'L' shaped object should be banned if we want our children to be safe.

It's all for the children.

Brought to you by the letter M, and the number 4...

The pop tart probably had some military attributes, like a pistol grip or a flash hider so it resembled an assault weapon! Therefor, instant expulsion, no parole. MD school supers don't mess around with hardened criminals, no sirree! The boy's Dad will teach his son a lesson by making him strip the pop tart, clean it and reassemble it...all blindfolded. When I was in Walmart today, I noticed it had no pop tart ammo on the bare ammo shelves. There is no age limit on purchasing pop tart ammo so I guess the MD state legislature will have to correct that. I'll make sure to mention that to them. We cannot have death by pop tart in this state!
For want of the pop tart, the boy was lost; for want of the boy...the nation was lost! Think I'll write a poem about that.

I am with Crusader Rabbit on this one. We are already at that "some day" that those that used to seem paranoid warned us about.

They don't need to outlaw them in shop class. A lot of schools don't even have shop class anymore. Painful cuts have to be made at many schools so the administrators can still get their raises and $60k/year car allowance. These cuts usually effect the classes that teach life skills, like shop, home ec, phy ed, etc. Who needs to know how to fix a toilet or build a shed when you can just hire someone to do it for you?

Perish the thought of the letter "L" falling forward.

God forbid if the letter R ever fell on it's face and got turned around. It would look like an EBR with a thumbhole stock and a big 30 round, baby-killing "clip" coming out the bottom.
We're probably just better off banning the alphabet altogether.

Absolutely right.
Think of the kids with poor penmanship who might create all kinds of Evil Gun Likenesses while learning to write.
Stop the madness now.. Eliminate pencils and paper while there is still time!

It is obvious we cannot allow people to take bites from Pop Tarts any way they like.
Act now to support legislation specifying the exact order and location of bites to be taken from Pop Tarts to avoid EGLs

Hi;
Ihprop1; also consider whenever a local ordinance is enacted that requires you to hire a "professional". Also the National Building Code - it is designed to have the requirement that a "pro" be hired. Basically, a unionized way of keeping people employed.
I understand that there are some people out there that just have no clue as to what they are getting into when they decide to change something around the house/property. This hampers those of us that can do the job. there are highly intellegent people that can solve problems in thier heads and save time and money - BUT they should NEVER be allowed to have a chainsaw in their hands...
