[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 514570, member: 84"] Ridiculous. Personally, I hope the man hires a D@mn fine lawyer and sues the hold hades out of them. (and I'm normally not fond of lawsuits) I think if anyone knows children, probably 99 percent of what they draw has little or nothing to do with reality, it's going to depend on the child. This is a ridiculous over reaction that started with the teacher and went totally out of control. I had a step brother once who loved to draw men with guns shooting each other, bloody...violent scenes, bombs the whole deal. He drew these consistently. Teacher became concerned because it was ALL he drew. She had a conference with my step dad and mom. Step dad explained that my 6 yr old step brother loved war movies, he wanted to be a general when he grew up....... Ahhh, makes sense. The child did have access to several guns, except he was taught from toddlerhood not to go near them, taught what harm they could do, taught safety.......had his own gun to go hunting and target shooting with his dad. And didn't have a single inkling to pick one up and take it to school. After the talk with the teacher, he did make some attempts to draw other things for variety, but the bulk of what he drew was still blood and gore. lol This type of thing in my opinion is NOT going to prevent a kid from bringing a gun to school. In my hometown alone we had to incidences in HS, and in both cases neither set of parents even owned a gun. The kids picked them up by other means. [/QUOTE]
