Cowboy-style cap gun gets 5-year-old suspended from school in Calvert County

[Cidersomerset]

I am not pro gun , but this is ridiculous imo....America was created with the
musket and its part of its heritage....This is going to far. The teacher should
have confiscated it until the end of school, sent a note home to the parents
to inform them toys were inappropriate unless on a 'play day' and sorted it
out like caring adults........Not 'Jobsworths' as we say over here !!

'A 5-year-old was questioned for two hours and then suspended for 10 days after he
showed his friend a cap gun on Calvert County school bus.The boy later told him mom
that he brought the toy gun in his backpack because he "really, really" wanted his friend
to see it.The principal called the child's mom after questioning him for two hours, by
which time the five-year-old had wet his pants. She told his mother that he had
simulated shooting someone on the bus, but the boy and his sister dispute that charge.'

If the punishment stands, it would become part of the boy’s permanent school record What....bringing a gun to school?

That wouldn't look too good.

So what else was in that backpack? Backpacks are more dangerous than guns.

Why on earth would you fight to have your child return to a school that would do something like this? I would encourage my kid to bring water pistols, bubble blowers or any other 'weapon' that could get them freed from such a place.

They put our sons in choke holds for just looking at them, saw it yesterday. You know this is a good place to compare family values and make corrections on where we went wrong, what works, and what doesn't work on a child. I stopped my AA sons from playing with any toy guns and barely allowed them to buy them unless it was a super soaker. Only because a male child is pressured to always be tough. "Crying a sign of weakness," is wrongheaded to tell a child this. Cry "baby" used to deride the child when it injures, or feels hurt emotionally. Training them to be devoid of compassion or caring of other's feelings. "I knew" they would receive this from the streets of America, there should always be a place where they can be themselves/home/safe haven.

I told them what you learned in the streets, you never bring home to your parent. That goes for cursing, dropping the "f" bomb, bullying or otherwise disgraceful behavior. In my home, you bring respect, you get respect. If you want to hear a "Good morning" you should give a good morning greeting to others. Respect of 3 ft of personal space no soul in the house has a right to cross, unless it's parental discipline. On that, I used the granny method of a thin switch, that didn't cause bodily harm, yet "stung/zinged" them back to reality and who they were addressing if they got disrespectful. I would sting the legs around the ankles, where they kinda hop scotched. It stopped them from bullying each other which is good practice for not doing it in school. But if you have a macho jerk as a spouse/spousette, that wants to mold their dream on the kid/child, then you may have to explain what is acceptable, against the laws in US and Universe. Combine them all, no sense in keeping bits and more confirmatory pieces from the history and experience of various civilisations history, not necessarily, some new world religious greeddoctrine. If your churches are telling you to make sure you discipline yourself in your behaviors, as you discipline your growing seed. Manners are wonderful in a child that represent the proud upbringing you gave, in adjusting or making changes of mistakes, that you yourself made. That is correction and discipline that doesn't break bones, or injure stunt soul growth with some egotistical bs, that will only teach them to lie to themselves.

Santa was okay until they learned to count, (around 4yrs) The Easter Bunny, okay for the hunt for eggs, but the truth came from me after that. The first lies we tell them for commercial purpose, eats away at the trust throughout their lives, in what is real, and what is not, and what is acceptable in a materialistic world. The game of life, and Monopoly, always left a few players, sad when they lost, because the role of a dice, is not a "choice." Luck, does not fulfill always, faith in the good of ALL, does. I don't know why, the upbringing was so open and honest with my children, I just couldn't fix my mouth to "lie" to them. Many bosses, people in the world will do that enough, when they apply for a job.

I didn't allow them to "breakdance" for candy or junk foods in the supermarket isle, because I would ask them what they wanted, say maybe if it was bad for em', and allow a sibling to watch them, or drop them off at the Y or playground until I went shopping. I'd pick them up after, the choice was there's, depending on their age. IF they saw another child in the isle behaving badly, they would look at me, and shake their heads. My children knew from their upbringing, that temper tantrums are NOT communication. He/she needs a "sting/switch on the the behavior." This may go on until they are about 5-7, but after that, they don't like the "shock/sting" when they coulda had a V8, if you know what I mean. I told them life stings you worse in America, many jobs, opportunities and luxuries, you may not have, but know your soul in in tact, if you follow Christ.

I told them there is always a dark/light, black/white, push/pull, ying/yang, what you do comes back to you, murphy's law Universal law in existence.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

OH and ABSOLUTELY NO PLAYING AROUND, UNLESS IT'S GYMNASIUM IN SCHOOL!! Education is serious=Education is your future almost secure. Told em, there's still that color discrimination in some minds(17%), but if you know the job, give it 150%, and take it to the rim.

[Lifebringer]

Gustapo tactics against students. Welcome to our world. I'm just saying in our public schools they are told to turn the phone on vibrate, and only allowed to text during school hours after they complete their work in class or cafeteria. Toys are for play, education is serious. If it's a cap gun, there is gun power in the caps, fire hazard in school, also could backfire and burn a kids eyes.

Why does the child have the mind to bring the cap gun to school, is the question. Why hasn't his parents told him about 911 and patriot act of taking rights. Also, the world has come a very long and dangerous crockpot way since we were kids, and fear has been pumped in the schools because of the shootings. Try explaining that, give the child a few days off to figure its for the best and return him to school. Then have a auditorium meeting with students, so they understand the misunderstandings can happen when you bring toys like guns and knives to school. Educating or teaching the mind, does not involve self defense from other students, therefore no weapons or toy like weapons are allowed for distraction from the courses.

Just saying if "our" children were playing with guns in the streets, some gung-ho steroid using cop would come and kill them. Better safe, than sorry.:blabla:

lmao, brilliant! I love it! Hey, maybe all parents should do this, let's shut the damn schools down so they can no longer force their indoctrination programs on our kids and they can be denied federal funding for lack of enrollment. What a great way to make a statement, of "I'm not gonna take it anymore!"

[Camilo]

The degree of paranoia is umbelievable.

[we-R-one]

Do you think it's paranoia or do you think it's more for the intent of control, and forcing people to acquiesce to the system?

[Camilo]

Both of them!

[East Sun]

I hate this whole process that adults are being put through. In my opinion this political correctness/control/conditioning is something we need to ignore. To hell with being treated like unthinking zombies. We need to think for ourselves. If something is ridiculous we need to say so and act logically.
"They" know what they are doing and treating us like we are sheeple and want us to be confused. I personally just ignore them as much as possible. Independent thinking is what we need to teach our children. Teachers need to learn how to behave as grown ups. And we need to speak out our minds whenever we can. Just makes me mad and I know that is what they want.
Guns are needed for protection from "them."

I am shocked every day by what I see parents put their kids through. It takes much control to hold back and keep my thoughts to myself. I cannot be the beacon of light for every cause. I have chosen my cause and I can only hope that more will step up to the plate and take a stance against tyranny. Fear has become a powerful tool that alters ones cognitive ability to think clearly.

[Vitalux]

I am going to head in a different direction on this issue.


Nature, the Universe, and society are never static. Each expands and evolves.
To believe that things remain the same and never change would be a bit of wishful thinking.:bathbaby::bored:

In my opinion, it would also be naive of any parent in today's society to send their child into a school with any imitation weapon, regardless of it's perception as a toy.

Those in the school system are charged with promoting good safe practices for those that attend their institution of learning.
Most certainly, I would applaud any school officials for taking direct affirmative action to insure the safety and moral fabric of our society.

This is not about the Illuminati, Sandy Hook, or some lizard from some distant Star of Zatar trying to undermine humans, this is about common sense and safety.


Guns do not :nono: belong at schools.

[Anchor]

Guns do not :nono: belong at schools.

I agree too, but common sense certainly belongs there and it wasn't in much evidence on the part of the head teacher.

Just confiscate the damn thing and announce in assembly that any toy weapons are not allowed.

Questioned for 2hrs (TWO HOURS) give me a break - what kind of qualified teacher of children is such a man?

[Carmody]

Yes, no need to grill a 5 year old over a toy gun. The 'making a big thing of it' aspect is part and parcel of the problem. Take the gun away, to never be returned, is enough of a permanent reminder for a 5 year old. Grilling for two hours is grounds for suing the school for psychological damage of a child in their care. A form of aggravated assault, with lasting impact. I'd say it's provable.

[BrianEn]

My language filters are on for this one, but who the hell do these teachers think they are? The kid made a mistake. He doesn't need to be interogated till he wets himself. They all talk about self-esteem and no bullies but its the system that has turned into the bully. They've taken all the power away from the parents and gave it to themselves.

[Vitalux]

We often are quick to judge a situation with out always knowing all the details.

Teachers and school officials have to attend University and get special certificates to be able to work with children.

Perhaps this is no ordinary child. There are 5 year old children that are fully capable of manipulating adults.

For example, when I was in kindergarten I watched a young boy take a pair of scissors and purposely stab another girl in the eye.
That girl ended up being blind in that eye.

Only the school officials know what occurred that day, the report that we have been provided with in the OP post only shows one side. :ohwell:

[Maia Gabrial]

Kids aren't supposed to bring toys to school anyway. That's the only thing I think he did wrong.
Who are the authorities trying to fool anyway? It's intimidation pure and simple. They want guns, even toy ones out of the public's hands. Not happening. I hope they returned the kid's toy gun back to him. Or did they confiscate this deadly thing?

[Maia Gabrial]

I'm no fan of the public school system. And I've stood up to them quite a few times. And won.
The whole system needs to be revamped. Period.

[East Sun]

In about 13 years from now they will give that kid a gun and order him to kill whoever they order him to without question the way armies do. And when he leaves the army if he survives they will take any guns he might have just in case he might have any objections to their policies.

How smart are the control freaks if they act so paranoid regarding little kids and their parents? Not very imo.

[eric charles]
