Mom Says School Went Too Far Punishing Child For 'Paper Gun' - Philadelphia News, Weather and Sports from WTXF FOX 29
I'm sure some people have seen this story, but posting it for those that haven't. This is too disturbing to me.
Essentially
- girl brought gun shaped paper to school (forgotten in pocket)
- realized it was there and went to throw it away
- another kid made a big scene
- she was scolded and berated by administration being called a "murderer"
- she was searched by school officials
- all this occurred in front of other students
Obviously the parent wants to get her kid in a different school. Incidents like this also go on students permanent records. The school will not comment on it. Just because someone has an indisposition to guns, they made a choice that could haunt this girl until she graduates high school. It's ridiculous. It's incidents like these that make me fear that the nation in a whole is heading for some sort of disaster due simply to being lulled into false security.
