‘A 5-year-old Pennsylvania girl who told another girl she was going to shoot her with a pink Hello Kitty toy gun that blows soapy bubbles has been suspended from kindergarten.
Her family has hired an attorney to fight the punishment, which initially was 10 days for issuing a ‘terroristic threat.‘..’
To “fight the punishment”? They should sue the bastard’s asses off for terrorizing a kid. To merely dispute the punishment is to concede that an entirely innocent exchange should be the business of fuckwits.
Example n for why you pull your kids out of public schools now.
I AGREE 100%!
…and even if you can’t afford the tuition for a private school – HOME SCHOOL the kids after work if necessary.
There are lessons plans and materials available at small cost. Also, Internet websites where home school parents swap ideas.
BTW, in terms of academic success in this country, the home school kids are leaders of the pack, which is easy, as “free” public education is nothing more than brain washing for “x” number of years.
Or babysitting for lazy parents.
I personally have seen those homeschooling sites. So much free or very cheap education is available online there really is not point in the 19th century model of schooling any more.
Yes indeed.
You have it right KG, sue. And make sure the names of everyone involved in this decision gets wide publicity.
In this instance isn’t it better not to sue but to simply keep your kid away from these losers and to tell all other parents what idiots the teachers are? The cold art of boycott generally works.
Boycotts are a very powerful weapon, Cad and one I wish we could get it together enough to use more widely.
But… many parents of children around this age are likely to be working and the difficulties of taking part in a boycott and finding alternative care may simply be too great.
Suing the people involved in this may be more effective, in that it would send a message to all the others involved in looking after very young children. Better perhaps to support her parents with donations towards the legal fees.
This development of cottonwool kids is so demented it would almost make a good book. Orwell would just love it; the development of malleable non-thinks.
Here is another case; two 6-year-old boys suppended for playing with finger guns:

Sigh….the clowns responsible should be named, shamed and subjected to derision.
I just walked passed my local kindergarten and I overheard a boy saying “I have a knife and I am going to kill you.” I chuckled because that sounded a lot more violent than the kids in America going ‘pow pow.’
Well I guess those two weren’t sending bullshit “stop the gun violence” letters to Obama.
Yeah, but what about all those patriot kids sending letters to Obama and telling the commie bastard to keep his fucking hands off our guns?
The latest poll (this by a Leftist newspaper) finds that 65% of the American People are against any form of gun control, so I figure if the truth were known the pro-gun kid letters to Obama are running 2 to 1 against the anti-gun kid letters.
BTW, This past weekend there were numerous pro-gun rallies with the ARMED patriots’ favorite firearm, the 5.56 mm Bushmaster, which is the civilian version of the military’s M-4, with only one difference.
The Bushmaster can only fire semi-automatic until converted to automatc…
This can be done in about 15 minutes by an experienced gunsmith.
And I got the pictures to PROVE that pro-gun rallies are sweeping the nation:

Those are truly beautiful pics, ronbo. I wish we had that kind of patriotism and love-of-country where I live.
The elites are soul-searching and asking, “What kind of society would allow their children access to soap bubble guns?”
To the lefties, every incident is not the fault of criminals, but of society.
To be consistent with the new insane US fundamentalist policy, then the proper lefty remedy to this ‘terroristic’ incident would be to register soap bubble guns, would it not?
This article had me thinking that in Canada we had better seal off the border with the US, but then again we are just as insane here – just a few weeks ago we had the authorities responding to another 5-year-old drawing a picture of her father with a gun on a blackboard, which the terrified child immediately erased. Suspension from school and serious investigation of the family ensued, probably still sucking up our tax-funded legal system.
Meanwhile the noble savages (Idle No More so-called “First Nations”) can openly threaten our public with violence for no coherent reason, eliciting no response from the our police.
Thank you to all the Quislings in our own ranks who are party to this insanity who have us thoroughly dazzled, confused and divided.
