Hard to believe this is true, but evidently it is. In Maryland, Big Education’s Thought Police suspended an 8-year-old for two days for eating around his Pop Tart so that it resembled the shape of a gun. In response to this gigantic over-reaction by system officials, a local lawmaker has given the boy a membership to the NRA. The boy’s attorney has a unique – and pointed – component to the boy’s appeal.
In the appeal, Ficker included pictures of the U.S. states of Idaho and Florida because “they look more like guns than Josh’s Pop-Tart.”
The Anne Arundel County Public Schools spokesman, Bob Mosier, declined to comment on the status of the appeal.
I have a dog bone that has been so chewed and enjoyed by one of my dogs that it now appears to have a handle attached to the four-inch bone. One could say it resembles the shape of a gun. Am I in trouble too — along with Idaho and Florida?
Based on this story, the only comment the school system spokesman needs to make is an acknowledgement of the ridiculous reaction of the bureaucrats.
