Boy Suspended for Chewing Pastry into Gun Shape

"A 7-year-old Maryland boy has been suspended from school for reportedly chewing his pastry into the shape of a gun.

According to reports, the boy was having breakfast in his school. He first chewed the pastry into the form of a mountain, and then a gun.

The boy was suspended for two days.

The boy took responsibility for the gun, saying it was first a rectangle, but he just kept biting it. He said he was trying to turn it into a mountain."

Sounds ridiculous BUT in breaking news it has been revealed that a latter report says not only was it a Danish, he pointed it as someone and said bang. I am sure glad they caught the little bastard.


"UPDATE: Authorities Say Pastry Weapon Used in School Non-Shooting Was a Danish



According to this preliminary report (20-minute raw video) from WBFF News in Baltimore, the seven-year-old was threatening other children with a crude weapon he had fashioned out of a strawberry danish before authorities intervened. Early reports suggested that the suspect broke or bent down a part of a long pastry to cause it to resemble a handgun, but sources are now saying that he may have taken bites out of a previously rectangular pastry until it assumed the desired shape.

The shooter has reportedly confessed that the danish may have "looked sorta like a gun," but denied pointing it at anyone or having said "Bang" as alleged."

Wow. I never would have graduated if I was going to school now. We used to actually play a game of Assassin on school grounds, with proto-airsoft guns.

And did you read the story where the kid wasn't allowed to wear a United States Marine Corps t-shirt because it had two rifles printed on the front.

What does the ROTC drill team use? Wands?

The gift that gives on giving.

"Dear Parents and Guardians:

I am writing to let you know about an incident that occurred this morning in one of our classrooms and encourage you to discuss this matter with your child in a manner you deem most appropriate.

During breakfast this morning, one of our students used food to make inappropriate gestures that disrupted the class. While no physical threats were made and no one [was] harmed, the student had to be removed from the classroom.

* * *

As you are aware, the ... Code of Student Conduct and appropriate consequences related to violations of the code are clearly spelled out in the Student Handbook, which was sent home during the first week of school and can be found on our website, [url=http://www.aacps.org..." onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;]www.aacps.org...[/url].

If your children express that they are troubled by today's incident, please talk with them and help them share their feelings. Our school counselor is available to meet with any students who have the need to do so next week. In general, please remind them of the importance of making good choices.

Pretty sure that if your children are "troubled" by another kid biting a pastry into something that looks sort of like a gun and waving said pastry around, you have already failed as a parent."

‘Teacher Threatened Police Arrest And My Son’s Mental Sanity Over A Photo of Him With A Pellet Gun’ – Parent

This sorry story began when Phillips’ son used money he had earned to buy himself an Airsoft bb gun, the joy of suburban boys throughout America. Proud of his purchase, Phillips’ son took a digital photo of his bb gun, and then brought his camera to school so he could show a friend. James DeLarme, a social studies teacher, walked by, saw the camera, and “snatched” it right out of the young man’s hands.

Anything that can be done encourage the fear and disdain of firearms.

The end of a rational society is clearly upon us. What's next? Your kid made an inappropriate facial expression and has to be permanently expelled from the school system because statistics indicate he may be prone to commit other crimes in the future such as pointing his fingers like a hand gun and saying boom, pow, or bang?!

What was the sugar, sodium, and fat content of the weapon used in the non-shooting? Why was such a dietarily challenged item provided by the school district in their breakfast program? Where is THAT outrage?

......................"Understanding this sort of thinking, it is easy to realize that such people think nothing of applying a zero tolerance policy prohibiting actual firearms to not only toys bearing a slight resemblance to firearms, but to depictions of firearms and even imaginary weapons. Thus have elementary-aged children been punished for pointing fingers at each other and fighting imaginary heroic battles for mankind. Thus is childhood warped and wrenched from children.

Some of these bizarre incidents are the direct result of human confusion or incompetence. School systems have multiple levels of management that theoretically can avoid abuses in student discipline. Take the case of the five year-old girl who dared think of blowing bubbles on her friend and herself. Even if her teacher could not tell the difference between a Hello Kitty bubble gun — a toy the girl left at home — and a real weapon, and even if she could not tell the difference between five year olds playing and a threat of serious bodily harm or death, what’s the principal’s excuse? What’s the excuse of the assistant superintendent and the superintendent and the members of the school board?

Fortunately, in most of these incidents, thunderous public scorn and the threats of attorneys were sufficient to undo suspensions and other punishments that should have never taken place. However, unless and until the voters of those — and every — school district take affirmative action to see that no student is punished for behaving like an entirely normal child, and that progressive indoctrination of our youngest and most impressionable children is brought to an abrupt and final halt, generations of Americans may grow up believing that so much as thinking about the “weapons” generations have harmlessly used in play since before the foundation of the republic is a crime against the state.

On the other hand, perhaps that’s exactly what the state wants.

Bob I think it's the later.
Part of the state (government at all levels) intent of destroying independence and self-reliance. Make the populace afraid to defend themselves or to offend anybody. Give up those silly unneeded old ideas, the state will take care of your needs, just give the state a little of that independence, it’s not needed. Guns are bad they allow the citizen to defend and sometimes to provide for themselves and their families, a utopian civilization, doesn’t need that. Guns they can hurt people, guns are scary.

Teach em young.
