So the only thing different between the two stories is:
Quote:
Bone said he's concerned his son will fall behind, especially because this isn’t the first time he’s faced school discipline.
“He took a pocket knife with him to school and he said he didn’t mean to,” Bone said. "It was zipped up in his binder, he got expelled from his old school, which is why he goes to St. Claire ROE now.”
What kind of dumbazz school administrators would expel a kid for this? Most boys in our school carried knives to school every day.
Because another person did something wrong, you should give up your rights?
Nobody said they couldn't still GO to the gun range.
I liken this to teachers not going to bars, getting hammered, then posting photos of themselves letting strange men do Jell-O shots off their stomachs during Spring Break.
This is also not illegal and there's no reason a teacher cannot do what they want with their free time, but posting it on social media would surely be ill advised.

Oh jeeze, its now a [constitutional] right to post pictures on social media with thinly veiled threats as the captions?
Sorry, if your child has already been expelled from one school for bringing weapons to school, don't post pictures with a questionable caption saying security might want to have a talk with this kid. A talk about what? The school doesn't know what that is supposed to mean? How the next weapon he brings to school might be a gun?
With all the screw ups that happened in Parkland, most schools are going to err on the side of safety when it comes to dealing with troubled students. They don't want the same thing repeated at their schools.
Ken Bones is an idiot for posting that picture. He did it to get his child in trouble so that he could go running to the media again.

Obviously Ken Bones isn't going to tell the real story of what happened. Its not like the school district is allowed to publicly deny his claims.
If the kid really did have it zipped up in his binder all day, then how did school officials discover it? You think they just happened to have a random binder search that day? Yeah right. He had it out, maybe even threatened another student. Which is why he was expelled and sent to the district's school for troubled teens. That's not a place a good student accidently finds themselves.

That's what the father said- has it been corroborated by other sources? For all we know, the teen might be troubled.
And it is probably not a good idea to have your son who is at a school for troubled teens (however he got there) pose for a picture with a gun and suggest that security guards might want to talk to him. The suggestion can be taken to mean a few different things- he could teach security guards how to shoot or he is able to shoot up his school (which is the meaning the principal took). Either way it was kind of stupid of him to make his son a target- the school will be looking at him any time something happens at the school.

And yet, you have nothing but your own speculation to support that.
I don't really have an issue with a teacher talking with the child, that is not terribly unreasonable given the context. But SUSPENSION is a punishment. He did nothing to justify a school sanctioned punishment. He was participating in a legal, responsible activity under parental supervision on his own time.
As long as there was no overt threat there was nothing to punish him for. It's not as if he was out supporting a racist hate group and demanding the death of police officers or something similar.
