The Dumbest People In Schools Continue To Be The Administrators
This high school student was suspended and even arrested for using his imagination on a class assignment. Ray Rivera and Sujata Jain write at WCSC:
SUMMERVILLE, SC (WCSC) - A 16-year-old Summerville High School student says he was arrested Tuesday morning and suspended after writing about killing a dinosaur using a gun.Alex Stone said he and his classmates were told in class to write a few sentences about themselves, and a "status" as if it was a Facebook page.
Stone said in his "status" he wrote a fictional story that involved the words "gun" and "take care of business."
"I killed my neighbor's pet dinosaur, and, then, in the next status I said I bought the gun to take care of the business," Stone said.
Stone says his statements were taken completely out of context.
"I could understand if they made him re-write it because he did have "gun" in it. But a pet dinosaur?" said Alex's mother Karen Gray."I mean first of all, we don't have dinosaurs anymore. Second of all, he's not even old enough to buy a gun."
Investigators say the teacher contacted school officials after seeing the message containing the words "gun" and "take care of business," and police were then notified on Tuesday.
Summerville police officials say Stone's bookbag and locker were searched on Tuesday, and a gun was not found.
I used to believe I could fly as a kid. How lucky for me that nobody checked my locker for a plane.

Reminds me of the pic of Speilberg standing in front of a dead Dino that was circling around where a guy posted he was killing innocent animals.
A couple of people feel for it.

It's bullshit like this that I use to try to convince my husband to let me homeschool the kids in the lower grades when they are old enough and/or put them in a private school.

I'm not surprised; they are school administrators in a country that allows this:
Kids get in free every day in 2014!

Have they found the murdered dinosaur?
NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!

Stupid ideas are spread by stupid people. The schools have been hijacked by oblivious and out-of-touch liberals. They hire obedient puppets that get paranoid when they see the word gun. They freak out, lose their bearings, and make utter fools of themselves.If that is not bad enough, when the authorities get the "evidence" (the writing, in this case)they too react like they have no brains.
If we want better schools, employees, and institutions, vote out the liberals...because "progressive" is one of the most wildly known misnomers.

This is not liberalism nor libertarianism. It's something completely different. It's totalitarianism emanating from a politically correct ideology..

Unfortunately, someone burned the evidence.

It's not just the school officials. Even the kid's mother said, "I could understand if they made him re-write it because he did have 'gun' in it."
I wouldn't be understanding of having him rewrite it at all. Any reaction other than amusement, to the word 'gun' in the context it was used, is irrational.
The school officials and authorities who freaked out arrested the kid aren't psychologically or emotionally qualified to be in their positions. They need some serious long term therapy and should never be allowed in positions of authority again.

"The schools have been hijacked by oblivious and out-of-touch liberals."
"Scandalous!" said Widow Waddlebottom as she clutched her pearls. "It's insidious the way those Godless communists run the schools right under the very noses of the Republicans who rule South Carolina!"

I wonder if they let Bradbury be read in this district. Sound of Thunder?

Radwaste: I wonder if they teach anything even resembling history?

They spend about five pages on Marilyn Monroe but only about two-three paragraphs on the founding fathers. They also change the text of the Constitution and bill of rights to say things like the Second Amendment is optional.
