Are They Serious??

5 Y.O. Suspended for making a terroristic threat? Really? Do they lack so much common sense to suspend a kindergartner for telling another student that she's going to shoot her with a "pink bubble gun"?

That is their twisted version of thinking that they are doing something about violence. Really .... They think they are doing something useful, and it makes them feel good. That is the sorry state of public thinking these days. Problems don't have to be really addressed. All we need is the perception that something is being done. That's the same mentality that produces the NYS gun laws that were just recently passed. We've even seen some of that kind of thinking on this forum in recent weeks. It doesn't matter whether the actions represent anything useful, just that it makes us feel good and provides the perception that "something" is being done. These school official are of the same mentality.

Just prooves how the left has totally taken over the public school system. I actually remember kindergarten. When the teacher announced "play time" every boy in the class would race to the toy box, hoping to grab one of the three or four TOY PISTOLS (OMG!!!!) out of the box. Of course that was before all of the hippies got out of college and settled into the education system.

Oh my...What a sad state of affairs. A pink bubble pistol? Common sense is not so common in the education system, I think...
