10-year old Johnny Jones suspended for shooting imaginary arrow

[Mr H]

Where is the parental outcry?

Parents? Or the tall people who pay the rent?

Most of these seem to fall into the second category, lately.

hey, does this look like an imaginary gun in my pocket

 

[jrumann59]

Its official when my daughter is old enough to go to school, I am going to be "One of those parents".

 

[jrumann59]

Wait for the imaginary act of showing these schools have no brain.

This whole "Zero Tolerance" BS got me thinking this weekend (I know, a rare occur acne and I needed an Advil afterwards). If legislators and education experts are so set on Zero Tolerance in the schools, why are they so adamant about NOT having Zero Tolerance in the law?

Del. Mike and others tried to limit the number of gun law charges being dropped during the 281 hearings, only to be told that the can't do that because courts need "flexibility."

So which is it, oh wise ones with the massive egos.... I mean intellect? Should we have "Zero Tolerance" or "Flexibility?"

Now, now, now...we can't expect parents to raise kids. That's the teachers job. Along with being shrinks, nutritionists, prison guards, police, doctors, etc. (just in case)

I found him...looks like the kid learned it from this guy. Okay, let's suspend him.

 

[Docster]

Can't even say the word gun at my brother's son's school. You have to say, "blaster" or face suspension.

This sh*# needs to be taken up at the Supreme Court fast. It's getting out-of-hand.

No it doesn't. These have always been LOCAL issues, Public outrage can do much more, much faster than getting an arm of the federal government involved. This is an issue the citizenry can deal with themselves on a local level IF they feel strongly about it and are willing to do the work.

Do you really feel it's best to want help from the government or have the people help themselves first? Especially with local problems....

How do they teach history?

Johnny only likes dreaming, all the day long.

Anybody know more about this? It happened in October at South Eastern Middle School in Fawn Grove, PA. Local to us. The principal is John Horton.

Good, we don't want our kids to get into their heads that they can use archery skills. Last thing we need is some Hunger Games style uprising where a bunch of 17 year olds start taking people out while having weird and confusing love triangles.

So when the kids decide to discuss China's recent lunar program, and one of them uses his finger to gesture the flight path, he will be suspended and prosecuted under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons? He demonstrated a missile (we all know that "rockets" are really military delivery devices in the guize of research projects.) That finger-missile could have been equipped with imaginary MIRV payloads.

Damn, my kids and I toss Dragon-Ball-Z-style energy blasts at each other all the time. School administrators should focus on *actual* infractions, like fist-to-face contact.

I couldn't tell from the article but does anyone know if the imaginary arrow one of those super-dangerous "assault" arrows?

It must have been a Bo Duke Exploding Special...

 

[Les Gawlik]

His problems are just beginning. With a name like that, he'll never pass a NICS check.

Are those the ones I heard about that are heat seeking and can take down an Apache helicopter?
