5-Year-Old Threatened With Suspension For Making Gun Out Of Legos

14. Where in my son's class (7th grade art), a kid made marshallow shooters for everyone

and has been asked by his teacher to plan on selling them at a craft fair. I am a bit surprised because, even though the kid doing it had been working on it as an independent craft project, they were distributed to her art classmates as xmas presents the week after the CT massacre. Then for the teacher to suggest selling them at the student craft fair - I was thinking she needed some money to buy a clue and some sensitivity.

Truthfully, how can a kid use a freaking toy inappropriately unless he used the blocks to whack the kid over the head! Heck, 1/8th of any Toys-R-Us is filled with guns - no matter where you go. You have the action figures with weapons, then the dress up play sets to match the action figures that have full size weapons, then there is several rows of Nerf guns, Aqua Blasters, Cap guns, Super Soakers, Power Blasters, Airsoft, and Paintball guns, etc...
