Seeks to prohibit school officials from disciplining youngsters playing shoot-'em-up with make-believe guns. It was prompted by the two-day suspension of a 7-year-old Maryland boy last year for waving a pastry bitten into the shape of a pistol. Florida students would also ...be allowed to wear clothing and accessories depicting firearms and expressing an opinion on the Second Amendment.
I think the teachers and school officials need to undergo some kind of mental test , seriously these type of people really are a waste of flesh.
You need to change your focus to the state Departments of Education which direct the local school boards (under pain of losing funding or accreditation) adopt these Codes of Conduct.
I don't have a particular brief for Administrators (most can't find their own ass with both hands) but they and teachers are required to enforce those Codes of Conduct no matter how nonsensical.
Oh, by the way, do you know who demanded these Zero Tolerance policies? Not teachers, not Administrators but parents. Year after year, legislative session after legislative session, school board meeting after school board meeting until everyone got tired of hearing them and adopted those policies.
Pointing your finger like a gun is cause for suspension. What if the kid had pointed his middle finger at another student? Would he have been suspended then? A middle finger would be more offensive, in my opinion.
When we were kids all the boys ran around playing cowboys and Indians....sorry - I mean natives...wait....indigenous people...Hope I got that right...If the same policies applied back then regarding how boys play the schools would have been emptied...everyone would be suspended. We ran around going bang bang...and your dead...then a cowboy medic would arrive make a few clicking sounds with their tongue and say "your fixed"...the wounded or dead cowboy would rise up and continue with more bang bang finger pointing...Point is none of us grew up to be mass murdering idiots.
Ridiculous? Walk by any cop and point your finger like a gun or better yet, aim at try the same with presidents Secret Service detail. Let's see if the your sense of humor.
