A Maryland lawmaker has introduced legislation after a 7-year-old boy in his district was suspended for shaping a pastry into what his teacher thought looked like a gun. The Star Democrat reports that Republican Sen. J.B. Jennings
introduced a bill that would prohibit schools from suspending students
for seemingly harmless childish acts, such as playing games with fingers
pointed like guns or chewing food into the shape of a firearm. |

That would be great legislation to have in every State.

Stupidity like that, is one of the many reasons we're glad we homeschooled our sons. I'd probably be in the principal's office way too often, if we hadn't.

My kids were mostly out of school before it got that bad. My youngest daughter had a habit of fighting a bit. LOL

If the Representative has that much common sense, he won't get re-elected. Amazing the dumb things some schools are doing now.
About 2 yrs after the shooting incident out here, my son took a .50 cal casing to school to show his 'buddies' , when he was told not to ever take it to school. You would have thought he had walked into the school with a fully loaded automatic machine gun.
