    Serves the kid right! What in the world was he thinking bringing a toy plastic gun to school?! - they should lock his parents up too, guns are bad!

    When this went "teacher bashing" I thought of you Bear and know you( as in all teachers) are not all that bad .

    I'm just flustered that a system can justify and the people let it that patting down school children is OK .. if they had tried that shit when I was that age.. almost 30 years ago.. I'd like to think my parents would have went ape shit ... as well as the ACLU and everyone else. how can raising children in an environment that promotes being patted down for nothing more then going to school produce " good people" ?

    I can't even put it in to words properly I'm so pissed about it .

    Fair enough ... Didn't look at it from that context.

    They justify it by telling themselves that "the children belong to the community", "if it'll just save one", etc. If parents/people would stop sitting idly by complaining on forums and actually confront the problem... it would stop in a heart beat. After all, YOUR tax dollars are paying the teachers salaries. However, just like our debt ceiling and all the other issues everyone is like "we'll take care of it on the next round".

    Remember: Patience is a virtue, unless you have cancer...

    It's nearly baffling in hindsight that I was let go each afternoon after school by my parents with a box of .22 and a rifle to go amuse myself...that was in 3rd grade.

    This portion of the article is pretty disturbing to me. Counseling is just ridiculous for this situation. The whole thing is so absurd I can barely wrap my mind around it.

    He has been ordered to undergo counseling and, according to The Rutherford Institute which has taken his case, he has also been subjected to intimidation tactics, interrogation, and dire threats by school officials—all without his mother being present.

    Agreed. These policies create rebels, rather than protecting anyone. It is clearly the extension of a political agenda, rather than an safety issue. The kid didn't even bring it, he discovered it and turned it in before getting "caught"
