Maryland school suspends six-year-old boy for making gun gesture, saying ‘pow’ (legal, 2013)

[All American NYC]

A suburban Washington, D.C. family has retained legal counsel after their six-year-old son was suspended from school for making a gun gesture with his thumb and forefinger, pointing at another student and saying “pow.

”

I guess he should have pointed his middle finger in the air & said FU.

OMG - These idiots are going back to the no-tolerance gun hysteria of the 90's?
My friends 9 year old daughter was suspended and threatened with expulsion for having a butter knife in her lunch box.

Next thing you know, jocks will lose scholarships for flexing their biceps and saying "Welcome to the gun show."

But wait he is only imitating what he sees and hears... The liberals would have you think that violence does not affect children well here is a good example of YES IT DOES!

So the hysterical teachers and administrators were actually stopped by reason.
So what about the kid this guy was telling to stop?

They must have received some strong back-lash to just let it drop.

I smell lawsuit.

I hope they sue the crap out of the people who suspended him, not the taxpayer.
