What if a piece of pepporoni would have dislodged and went down another kids throat? Never thought of that did ya? Pizza can be a dangerous weapon, carve a piece into a Machete and kill a dozen people in seconds, oh it could happen.

Next, teach the boy how to turn a Milk Carton and a straw into a pretend tank. That guy would be forced to call in Homeland Security on the kid due to threatening a Military Invasion.

James Evans, spokesperson for the Rutherford County School District, said the boy isn't being punished because he had a piece of pizza shaped like a gun.

He's being punished because "some students reported he was making some threatening hand gestures, that he was shooting other kids at the table and they reported it to a teacher," according to Evans.
This is from the posted article.



I still think it's overboard.

We have idiots running our schools. This is unbelievable.

This comes about when we have zealots fighting their favorite battles. Anything to do with guns, smoking, drinking, etc are automatically targets for the zealots.

I'm not sure I understand the connection. Why were they white trash kids? Are you saying kids who are taught to handle guns at an early age are white trash?

The school administrators did the right thing. In a post-Columbine world we need to be hyper-cognizant of all forms of patriarchal violence.
