They are harder to suspend, it might even require guns (gasp) to reign them in. Too much work! Let's just save and suspend the children!

Holy shit.[Bang][Bang][Bang] Are people really this dumb and ignorant?
Oops I'd better stop telling my 4 yr old to shoot Swiper on Dora the Explorer.
Is it ok for my 7 yr old to tell his friends that he's going shooting with me at the weekend?
Hell when I was a kid none of us would have made it past 1st grade if it was a 'crime' to make gun shapes with our hands.
I would hope to have the money to private school my kids...the school system (mainly the administrators) are ridiculous. Suspending kids for being kids, that is stupid. Taking it off his record...horrible!
After columbine I was hauled into the Dean's office at my high school because I had a shaved head and was in ROTC (I later spent 7 years in active duty army/army reserve). There were too faculty members in there (they told me for safety) and they were worried I might commit a similar act and wanted to know about the guns in our home. I had never been in trouble for anything.
That's stupid and wrong in so many ways, would be enough to piss me off...
So political correctness cleansing is not out of the ?
I kind of think, if they would have had some of this PC BS back when I was in school,, I still might be a couple of years away for my parole from detention...
I obviously failed as a parent. I let my youngest son play "army" when he was young.
Because of that when he grew up he joined the USAF and has personally killed or been directly responsible for killing literally hundreds of terrorists.
If only I'd known how I was failing him and society...
Troubleco and Mtn.Man, you guys are hilarious...I feel uncomfortable by all this, I am suing....
[Muaha]
But seriously, that really happened and they called my dad right in front of me to ask about the guns in the house and if they were loaded. My father's response was..."What the hell is the use of an unloaded gun." My dad is real old school and doesn't know what PC is and had no idea why anyone could possibly think twice about it. Although I disagree with it, I can see how mass paranoia sneaks into the sissies.
Had a guy where I work put on 3 months administrative leave (without pay) for making the same hand gesture to another employee a couple of years ago. The offended employee felt "threatened" and opened a workcenter violence complaint.
The entire place had to go through a whole battery of "Workcenter Violence" training.
When the "offender" was allowed to come back to work he was only able to deal with the place for just over a month before he had had enough of the PC'ness and got a better job and left.
So, it's bad to made a gesture of a gun with your hand but if you pick your nose at work - in front of customers and co-workers, it's okay. (Explanation: A new employee just started at my wofes work - in her section - this woman is constantly picking her nose and her breath is so horrid that it can be smelled from 6 ft away -- oh, my wife works in the Customer Service section of the Peterson AFB Exchange).
My nephew recently celebrated his 7th bd as a Jedi. Foam light sabers for him and his friends, they even *gasp* attacked my brother! Oh the inhumanity! I should call Child Services!
"I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of firearms in my house. I now invoke my right to remain silent"
Oh, I know. No offense taken at all. He loves it...get's to work/live with the Army with the benefits of being taken care of by the AF. Best of both worlds, he says.Quote:
