This makes me sick way to far
Whats wrong with people today??? I Seen this on the internet news and am dumb founded.
Philadelphia girl scolded, searched for pulling out paper gun at school, mom says | Fox News
This is so upsetting they talk about how bad and evil guns are. They talk about how we need to do away with them to help protect kids. Then they launch a assault on a child for having a apiece of paper. Maybe we need to protect the children from the left wing extremest who call them selfs teacher. I am sure in today's age of PCness the principle and teacher will keep there jobs.

We had one around here a few days ago a little girl said she was going to shoot her bubble maker at somebody. She got suspended for 2 weeks, later changed to 2 days, should have been a non event, instead it's on the evening news.
In the same madness....
You can get any illegal drug you would like in most any school but get caught with an asprin and you're looking at a drug charge.

Apparently when my friends and I were growing up (in the 50's)all that exposure to cowboys and Indians, and Davy Crockett, scarred us for life. Everyone had play guns, revolvers and long guns, and spent hours chasing and "shooting" at each other. By our early teens we were hunting and target shooting. Among my friends is a fireman, one owned a trucking company, another is a welder, etc. None of us were ever involved in any form of criminal behavior. And no-one was on meds. Thankfully school administrators today are taking steps to prevent this travesty, such as occurred to us, from making criminals out of our children.

DRUGS for one!
Both LEGAL (RITALIN) and all the ILLEGAL ones.
Discipline in the classroom also, not enough MALE figures for one.
Single Parent Homes.
The MELTING POT now more resembles a CESSPOOL!

Our teachers dressed professionally and we were expected to dress well also. Shoes, no sneakers except when you changed for gym class, shirts had to have a collar and be tucked in. No shorts, no short skirts for the girls.
Today anything goes, you can't tell the faculty from the students everybody looks like they just got done sweeping the hall.
Oh yeah, we had our choice of drinks at lunch, milk or nothing and it wasn't free.
I don't know if we feared or respected authority, probably a little bit of both.
What a difference today.

I disagree. This falls into the same category as the antis telling us we dont need 30, 20, 10 round mags. Arnt 7 or less more then enough? And why do you need so much mags and ammo?
No, kids should be able to have whatever dtink they want and dress how they want to. None of that has to do with scolding a child for a piece of paper that is vaguely shaped like a gun.

Another example.
My son was helping me put a new ignition switch on a four-wheeler. He was in 6th grade. After pulling the ignition switch, he asked if he could have it and I said sure.
So he heads to my workbench and starts cutting wires and playing with the wirecutter, adding other wires and such. He made the remark to me, "Dad, it looks like a bomb". I agreed with him.
Next day, he was sitting at his lunch table and mentioned to some friends he was "building a bomb" with parts. A teacher over heard him and he got in serious trouble. I have never been so ticked off in my entire life, but there was little we could do..

Your modern educational establishment. Common sense, is not one of the things they teach in teacher school. However, these are the kind of people we trust our children too.

Also in 6th grade, my son pointed a pen at his buddy as he was walking down the hall, in a "gun like manner." I had to just grit my teeth as the assistant principal explained how she would have been justified in contacting the police, but she would refrain from doing so, "this time".
I've had to tell my son not to ever talk about shooting when he is at school.
It's absolute madness.

There are teachers, and then there are teachers. I believe most of them would like to see changes but between the school boards and parents, they are outgun....sorry, outnumbered. I've talked with several teachers over the last few years and they all agree on three things. First, they are tired of arguing with parents over their childs behavior in class, second, they are tired of hearing it's their fault when a student doesn't do his homework or pay attention in class, and third they get no support from the school boards. I had a sister-in-law who taught HS in New York for 30 years. She had to retire. In the last year she was assaulted twice and threatened several times.
She told me she loved teaching but, had she to do it over in todays environment, she wouldn't have done it. Welcome to the new educational reality.

This topic was never about screwed up kids! It was about screwed up school policy. Comrad pulled that whole "kids are screwed up" from outa nowhere. And it still has nothing to do with it. But if you want to....what harm is it to offer them not just milk but iced tea or soda? As for clothing, first few grades i had to wear a suit and once i didnt have to for some reason my level of respect didnt change once i was able to wear shorts.
