In reply to the discussion: Boy, 6, suspended from Silver Spring school for pointing finger like a gun [View all]tradecenter
(133 posts)11. This is the stupidest thing to say the least.
Suspend a 6 yo kid for pointing his finger like a gun and saying pow? This school is really off it's rocker.
What's next? Police arresting adults for doing the same thing in public?
I hope the parents sue the shit out of the school district and win a huge settlement and force the principal to apologize to the parents and child.

OP
My grandson, age 8 at the time, was expelled and sent to another school for this three years ago.

I can't help but draw line between this and the rape video being discussed in another thread.

It's the media! I remember when they used to show assault weapons on TV all the time
