MESA, Arizona — Officials at an Arizona school suspended a 13-year-old boy for sketching what looked like a gun, saying the action posed a threat to his classmates. The boy's parents said the drawing was a harmless doodle and school officials overreacted. "The school made him feel like he committed a crime. They are doing more damage than good," said the boy's mother, Paula Mosteller. The drawing did not show blood, bullets, injuries or target any human, the parents said. And the East Valley Tribune reported that the boy said he did not intend for the picture to be a threat. Administrators of Payne Junior High in nearby Chandler suspended the boy on Monday for five days but later reduced it to three days. The boy's father, Ben Mosteller, said that when he went to the school to discuss his son's punishment, school officials mentioned the seriousness of the issue and talked about the 1999 massacre at Colorado's Columbine High School, where two teenagers shot and killed 12 students, a teacher and themselves. Mosteller said he was offended by the reference. Chandler district spokesman Terry Locke said the crude sketch was "absolutely considered a threat," and that threatening words or pictures are punishable. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,294145,00.html "Once we got to the point where twenty/something's needed a place on the corner that changed the oil in their cars we were doomed . . ." -NickDG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 35 #54 August 23, 2007 bunch of idiots... then again, you'd think a 13 year old could draw a much better rendition of a gun. That looks like a 5 year old drew it!

1969912 0 #55 August 23, 2007 Whenever I see stupid rules like that, I start think of ways to fuck with them. Maybe get some old shoes, and whittle the soles so you leave gun-shaped footprints. Whatever, as long as you're tweaking the system.

You could whittle just about anything out of those soles. If you're really good, "fuck" on one and "you" on the other.

Butters 0 #57 August 23, 2007 They are attempting to do with guns what they attempted to do with drugs ... the idea is that if everything gun related is removed from society then guns will eventually be removed from society. They tried to remove everything drug related from society but drugs remained in society and the removal of everything drug related has caused drug ignorance which has caused drug problems. Learning from history, removing everything gun related from society will not remove guns from society. However, it will cause gun ignorance which will cause gun problems."That looks dangerous."

I'm 40, and it's very apparent by comparing the attitudes towards the things today versus when I grew up. (so a 20 to 30 year delta) These idiots are artifically creating the prophesy they claimed. And then crying they were right. The only alternative, is that people are much LESS intelligent and responsible than they used to be. And I don't believe that. ...
