A Baltimore area elementary school recently suspended a seven year old
boy for chewing a breakfast pastry into a shape resembling a gun.
There also seems to be some dispute over whether the boy said “bang
bang” after doing so (some also claim there might have been a second
Pop-Tarter on the grassy knoll).

For any students who were traumatized by the frightening toaster
strudel ordeal, counseling is available:

The school sent home a letter to parents saying, “During breakfast
this morning, one of our students used food to make inappropriate
gestures that disrupted the class. While no physical threats were made
and no one was harmed, the student had to be removed from the
classroom.”

Parents should talk to their children if they’re troubled by the
incident, the school said, and the school counselor will be available
for any student who needs to talk.

It’s been pointed out that because the Pop Tart had a filling, the
pastry weapon was likely considered to be loaded — a much more
egregious zero-tolerance violation indeed — hence the suspension.

The letter sent to the parents of students is here. The educators will
now undoubtedly insist that any Pop Tarts consumed on school property
undergo a mandatory 24-hour cooling off period after coming out of the
toaster.

The true story is the child was eating the pastry, trying to make it
look like a mountain.

Obviously we need the federal government to pay for two million more
art teachers; union, of course.

Sure. Since we have no spending problems.

The US government has infinite money. Haven't you heard?

Yes I heard. We should destroy the printing presses and spill the ink.

Just taking the ink will stop some of this nonsense.

But it's for the children! It's for the children!

I'm wondering if the pop tart pistol could have been more effectively handled by just getting each teacher to tell their Grade 2 class at the beginning of each year:
"OK, children, here's the deal:
Guns in schools is a really sensitive topic for the principal to deal with, so as long as no one chews their pop tart into the shape of a gun, I won't have to zap anyone with this electric cattle prod."



Occam's Razor: "The right answer is generally the simplest one."

Well yeah.

A new bill in Maryland; if passed, may save the children.

"...Jennings' bill would prevent minor incidents, such as the pastry
'gun' suspension, from being entered into a students' permanent
academic record, according to The Star Democrat.

He told the paper the legislation includes counseling and disciplinary
procedures for school administrators who violate the guidelines on
school punishments."

Another example of your country's voyage down the commode.

Your country is changing before your very eyes, yet you cannot see it.

You, each of you, are the unwitting agents of change.

And your guns will make no difference as a steam roller is crushing your
rights, your freedoms - your sensibilities and rationality.

Am I right - Oren?

No, HomoGay, you're never right.

A 7-year-old boy is suspended from grade school for "chewing a breakfast
pastry into a shape resembling a gun".

Is that the American Way, KR Williams?

Is that what you do in the USA these days?

The parents are now facing a logistics problem with schooling for the
boy.

Other parents and the wider community are given a stark message about
how power and authority will deal with 7-year-old boys who "chew
breakfast pastry into a shape resembling a gun".

And this is not an example of how your sensibilities and rationality are
being steam-rollered in the USA?

Is this not an example of how your sensibilities and rationality are
being stolen from you? Stolen from you - in spite of your "right to
bear arms" ?

KR Williams - if I am not right, then are you proud of this situation
and it's outcome?

You don't have to repeat the whole article for everyone to know you're
an idiot, HomoGay. We *all* got that message months ago.

You're accusing me of full-quoting?

Do you know how lame that makes you look?

Are you not embarrased by evading my questions?

Is this the new normal in the USA?

Are you proud that a 7 year-old American boy was suspended from school
for chewing a breakfast pastry into a shape resembling a gun?

Does that make you proud to be an American?

Will you answer that question KR Williams?
