Ugh--another overreaction to a supposed terrorist threat

I'm wondering how this got all the way to a court date.
Even so, the kid should be punished--maybe write a report on what a bad idea it is to threaten teachers with-guns in a drawing?

Uhg.... I hope common sense just took a very long vacation and didn't actually leave for good.

Didnt little boys draw cops and robbers pictures all the time in the past? I guess that is bad too now.

Hey, maybe they can go back and find all the books my husband used in kindergarten where he turned all the capital B's into tushies and charge him with pornography!!!

That would make as much sense as this does. I HATE zero tolerance and thank my lucky stars that we are out of a district that adores it. Our schools are strict in some senses but they still evaluate things on an individual basis. We have a middle school that might come close to this, but chances are they would be too busy to mess with it. Heck, Wiz once saw a staple gun on a teacher's desk and shot staples out of it. Got in big trouble, but not anything like THIS.

I think the school was looking for some way to get rid of him and this is the first thing they came up with.

You could be right, Susie. Hadn't thought of that.
