Suspension And Parenting Overdone

Kyle Walker, 7, was suspended last week for violating Dennis Township Primary School’s zero-tolerance policy on guns, the boy’s mother, Shirley McDevitt, told The Press of Atlantic City.
The second grader drew a stick figure shooting a gun earned him a one-day school suspension.
Apparently, after drawing the picture which also had a skateboarder, King Tut, a ghost, a tree and a Cyclops, Kyle shared it with another kid on his school bus, and that kid’s parents complained about it to school authorities.
Seriously, The Whistler, I give you permission to be irate over this, but first, please go slap those parents reporting it and ask them just what were they thinking?

How do you know it wasn’t me?


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Good point Anna.  Not just that Whistler should slap himself, and we all should, of course, but also that when we have moronic policies, one way to deal with it is to simply refuse to implement them.
