CO student suspended 10 days for wooden drill rifles

[Roy Hill]

A good student in a Marine ROTC unit had some pieces of wood, wrapped in duct tape, that were shaped like rifles in her car in the school parking lot.

Administrators suspended her for 10 days.

By the way. This is the exact same school district that caused the uproar when one of its brilliant teachers lectured students that Bush is exactly like Adolf Hitler.

This rates right up there with the little boy who got expelled for drawing a picture of a gun

Where is the ACLU in this    I believe that it is time we start calling on those liberal bastards to stand up for us in this time of prejudice and abuse against us as law abiding citizens.

Didn't you know, according to the ACLU the bill of rights only contains 9 articles

This is state law, stupid as it is.  A few years back a student was suspended for the whole school year for having a laser pointer shaped like a gun that was the size of your thumb (action figure sized).  Welcome to the wonderful world of ZERO tolerance, making it so that no judgment can be used by anyone.

Sign the principal up to get a subscription to handgun magazine...and have it sent to the school.

Chaos! works wonders!

She needs formally drop out of school, take the GED, and then take some college courses while waiting for her freshman class at the MMA.

This ends up being a black mark against the school (a drop out) at the same time it puts her ahead of her classmates.

she said she needed a diploma for entry into the Merchant Marines,  A GED will not do.  A GED may very well preclude her for joining the Merchant Marines.  If she can't graduate at the end of the year, she will have to take Adult Basic Education classes and actually finish her school and get a diploma.

Everytime I hear these "zero" tolerance laws, I wonder if educators, admin, faculty, who are this stupid, can have the same standard apply and get them expelled.
