Really no end to the idiocy and gun hysteria in schools.

WHAT THE FUCK. thats insane.

Or you've got people being suspended or expelled because they doodled a gun.


My doodles would sometimes feature starships or entire planets being destroyed.
Would that upgrade me straight to immediate execution?

Absolutely you do something that terrible, you get immediately walked outside, and lined up in front of a firing squad.

Seriously this is some BS. But now days we have kids being suspended for pointing a freaking finger. This type of crap needs to get stopped and fast.

Americans are the new North Koreans.

Just look at such insane policies, and the officials obeying them. If those same officials were told to execute that child, they'd continue to obey. It is strict obedience, and in this case it breaches human rights. Do they care? Of course not, look at what they are already willing to do. Their aggression against this child, an attempt to ruin his life.

It doesn't stop there. We must guard and keep watch, to oppose these insane individuals lest they become our elected officials. Can you imagine what they'd do to you if they're able to wield the power of the federal government?

I used to draw "Diablo symbols" (aka pentagrams) and bloody swords on my schoolwork in 1st grade, and teachers would often call for conferences with my parents over the violent stories I wrote (not of other students, but basically video game fan fiction). Of course, I ended up expelled in 6th grade for threatening to kill a kid using a JC Denton quote, so I can't say they didn't give me a chance. :awe:

What was the quote?

I suppose they wouldn't execute the kid but yes the strict mindless and violent obedience to silly rules is a despicable thing. They are the kind of yes-men zealots who gas people. They happen to be school administrators but the same unthinking obedience is there.

So much for the school being "creative".

I used to draw bloody scenes, dismembered people, who knows what. Lots of guns, tanks, etc. My teachers all said yuck but encouraged me to draw/use my imagination nonetheless. People these days really are nuts with these rules. With the threat of lawsuits on the other hand, not sure if I blame them.

No kidding, and that was in elementary for me. By highschool I think we were setting off firecrackers in lockers at the worst, but in general if I did the same things now I would have just been shot by my sophomore year.

Things are so out of control.

Zero Tolerance = Zero Brains (it's not even zero tolerance, when kids are getting suspended for chewing their pop-tart wrong, I mean...)

Guess I am the only one with the common sense to hear such a story and know something isn't right. The news report was wrong, the child was only suspended for a day and could return to school on Monday. Also, according to this report, the toy involved was different than pictured.

Since it didn't take much effort to find more accurate information I will leave it to those that are interested to find it themselves.

People get suspended or arrested over inane BS with this "zero tolerance" stuff. "Common sense" is usually thrown out the window when zero tolerance is invoked.

Without tearing apart the web to find a different story(cause stupidity doesn't interest me much), I didn't see anything that contradicted the op's story. I did see a 7 year old that got suspended for throwing an invisible grenade at a box of toys, and a 6 year old who got suspended for bringing a transparent plastic toy gun to show and tell though.

Still doesn't look like a gun to me. Maybe thats a glock to some libtards though.

I don't understand how schools in the US are so uptight about guns, when everywhere else there guns are basically treated like cell phones. Even here in Canada I doubt people would be getting suspended over this stuff unless it actually involved a real gun.

Magnets and chocolate eggs are also legal here. Though sadly the schools here are just as bad when it comes to peanut butter. That stuff may as well be C4, the way they treat it.

Well we're kinda over-sensitive to school shooting. I know it's all very hypocritical but think of the kids!!!!!!

 

[lxskllr]

but think of the kids!!!!!!

Fuck the kids. Every time you hear someone mention laws/rules, and kids and/or terrorists in the same paragraph, you know you're about to get fucked over. They're the get out of jail cards tyrants use to pass laws that are debate-proof.

I care as much about kids as I do everyone else, which is to say not at all. Kids, and everyone else need to make a path through a free society, and if we lose a few on the way, that's a part of life. 100% safety is impossible, and undesirable.

I don't think I could be president. Too many dipshits to try to work around. Dictator I could do. I'll suspend the Constitution, and take the job for 8 years. I'll do 5 day work weeks, with one day being devoted to eliminating laws. 8 years should be enough to get everything pared down to sane level. We can re-implement the Constitution, try again, and do it right this time; or at least buy a hundred years or so before everything gets fucked up again :^D

I'd love to see a compiler written for our legal system. The compiler won't look for anything to do with functionality or practicality, but it can at least find stupid mistakes. Then, instead of lawyers, get some software programmers in there to debug it.

I'm glad this happened and the school did what they did. Let's people know exactly where they should NOT send their kids for education.
