NJ 2nd grader suspended under 0 tolerance
quote:NJ second-grader suspended for drawing stick figure firing gun
Kyle Walker, 7, was suspended last week for violating Dennis Township Primary School's zero-tolerance policy on guns, the boy's mother, Shirley McDevitt, told The Press of Atlantic City.
Kyle gave the picture to another child on the school bus, and that child's parents complained about it to school officials, McDevitt said. Her son told her the drawing was of a water gun, she said.
A photocopy of the picture provided by McDevitt showed two stick figures with one pointing a crude-looking gun at the other, the newspaper said. What appeared to be the word "me" was written above the shooter, with another name scribbled above the other figure.
School officials declined to comment Friday. A message left at the superintendent's office Saturday was not returned.
Kyle drew other pictures, including a skateboarder, King Tut, a ghost, a tree and a Cyclops, the newspaper reported.

I'm sure this isn't the most recent report on this story....

Just another good reason to have my daughter in private school. The public school system is going WAY overboard! 0 -
Just saw in Cleveland a kindergarden student was suspended for saying the word gun. 0 -
And this leads to the other post about "dumb" kids. When they go to schools like this, how are they supposed to grow up with any brains or common sense? 0 -

Did you hear about a kid getting arrested here in the Springs for playing with a toy gun in school? 2nd grader I believe. I would've never thought a few years ago when I made a decision to move up here that crap like that is possible here, in CO, apparently I was wrong, but again, the first time I was here I counted 2 Mercedes and 1 BMW in 2 weeks here, now it's starting to look like Silicon Valley.0
