Kindergartner expelled for making gun with hands

the imaginary gun is the suspected murder weapon used in an ultra violent and bloody massacre carried out through cowboy-esque attacks on dozens of helpless playground "indians" during the previous weeks.

I'm going to have to refrain from clicking on threads like this. It pisses me off to no end that school administrators can be this ignorant.

Who effing cares if he did it repeatedly? Seriously, it is a Kindergartner making a gun with his hand.

I dunno, maybe he was being disruptive and/or annoying at the same time. If he was making loud "bang bang" noises and poking other children in the head with his finger that might be cause for a reprimand, if he did it repeatedly after being reprimanded that would be cause for expulsion. In that case he would have been expelled for general disobedience, NOT necessarily for the specific thing he was doing. Yet I would not put it past someone looking to write a sensational news story to conveniently leave out pertinent details that did not line up with the message they were trying to transmit.

Truth be told, I doubt that's the case. It probably played out more or less how the story is written, but I can't get rid of the doubts. Nor would I want to really.
 
Stories like these make me want to take these school administrators and whack them as hard as I possibly can in the head with a 2x4. They are so fucking useless it's ridiculous.

what happened to suspsension? You don't think a week suspension wouldn't teach him a lesson?

While you have a point[about news sensationalism], I don't believe any kindergardener needs to be expelled for any reason short of something unimaginable. They are 5 yr olds who often do things without thinking of the repercussions. They should be punished and educated about the things they do, not expelled just because the teachers don't know what to do with them. If anything, if it's as extreme you make it out to be, it's every much the reponsibility of the parents to correct the kid. A suspension would have sufficed.

there's a penis coming out of your gun :awe:


also LOL at this story... what kind of message are you sending a kid by abandoning him? This kid will probably end up on the streets with a real gun in a few years, something that could have been avoided if the people in charge weren't fucking retarded beyond words to describe them.
 
I am very disappointed by the thread title. I came in here expecting the son of MacGyver, who with nothing but his hand and some duct tape made a fully functional weapon of doom... instead I get some kid expelled from school by pointing his finger!?!

but his thumb was up!


this sounds like stupid school from this perspective, but im going to hold my judgment until i hear something either corroborating or defying the subject in the story. i cant see many possibilities for actually justifying this, but im still optimistic there are some i havent thought of that the school will bring forward.
 
Guns don't kill people. Kids pretending their hands are guns kill people.

The kid's teacher should be fired for not knowing how to teach.

Teachers generally do not have the power to expel someone. The principal is the one who signs it off.

Things have sure changed in the past decade. One of my friends in grade 9 was found carrying LSD, a schedule 1 drug. His punishment was 2 days in-school suspension and he had to write a 2 page essay on why drugs are bad (mmkay).

I guess fingers are a lot worse than carrying illegal drugs. Maybe today's fingers are a lot stronger because video games are more fun. Back in my day we'd play NES for 15 minutes then throw the controller against the wall and go do something else. We'd go take LSD or something.
 
lol that's really sad. The pussification of America continues. The terrorists already won, and they don't evne need to do anything anymore. The country is pretty much destroying itself with stupidities like this.
