"Nothing is more precious--and more terribly dangerous!--than the imagination of a child. The mother of Jordan Bennett, a Florida 8-year-old suspended for a day from Harmony Community School in the Osceola County School District, is complaining to the press that her boy was suspended for a day from school (and she fears possibly branded as a violent problem child) for pretending his hand was a gun during a game of cops and robbers at school.



Orlando TV station WKMG has some video of the perturbed mom. "...

Isn't it funny how when there's a mass shooting, the unhinged left focuses more on the gun than the shooter... then when some kid fires off a plastic gun or a thumb and fore finger, suddenly the focus is on the shooter (or pretend shooter).

Retarded doesn't even come close.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Damn they would just hate that all my kids and grandkids were taught in 4H how to handle and use a rifle, bow and arrow, etc. Can you imagine how many of us growing up would have been thrown out of school for pretending to fire a weapon?

As a High School Senior I built a .54 caliber Hawken rifle as an extra credit project. With the full permission of my teacher and the principal of my school I presented the final product to my American history class. I have to wonder what the repercussions of such an "insane" act would be today.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Kinda like the previous poster said, when the schools do something odd we focus on the kid or the school in stead of the wacko that keep sending their kids to these places, aka the parent.

Suspension for one day is no big deal when the appropriate action for such a parent is to remove their kid from that nuthouse so that he does not end up trained to be like the bulk of them. I feel sorry for parents that let the school parent their kid like that, I am amazed people can be so weak, esp when it comes to their own kids.

Exactly, it seems many are willing to let 'the village' raise and disciplince their kids because the collective is much wiser than the individual. My three kids haven't ever gotten in trouble for something like brandishing a finger gun, but if they were punished because of it, I guarantee my finger gun(s) would be all up in the faces of these "progressive" freaks.
