Educrats Suspend Boy Over Classroom Doodle

Written by , Posted in Education

Further illustrating the descent of our government run schools into rampant moonbattery, a 13-year-old boy has been suspended for doodling that most vile of images, that of a gun!

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.

…Chandler district spokesman Terry Locke said the crude sketch was “absolutely considered a threat,” and that threatening words or pictures are punishable.

The only thing that should be considered a threat here is the continued attempts by educrats to criminalize the childhood behavior of boys.
