Stupid
First grader given in school suspension for making a gun shape with his fingers and pointing it.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

I want to see some student do a report on the second amendment to include a hand-drawn picture of a gun with the report. Oh how I’d love that!

I would hold judgment at this point. Some of the comments at the linked story claim that he was suspended because he was doing it in a manner that was disrupting school activities.
On the other hand, this part is disturbing.
If what he was doing was actually disrupting class, and he had been disciplined for it previously, then an in-school suspension is not unreasonable – whether his behaviour was gun related or not. If the discipline was solely because the behaviour was gun related and it wasn’t disruptive, then the administration was out of line and something needs to be done.
Remember, do not trust the MSM to get the facts right.

Wait until a kid to get arrested for pretending his thing is a pistol as he pees.
Making the gun shape and pretending to shoot occurs in early childhood, before and independent of any understanding of firearms. It is essentially a mental extension of pointing.
I’d like a good historian document that boys made “gun shapes” and pretended to shoot before the advent of firearms.
This is also gender discrimination – disparate outcome and all that nonsense.

In my elementary school days, Sister Mary John, our principal, supervised students making black powder with a mortar and pestle for show and tell, then lit it off herself in a pile on the front lawn of the school while we watched. In fifth grade.
Back then, nuns were absolute authorities, and could get away with stuff like that with zero parental complaints or legal issues. They also knew their chemistry.

Irrelevant as long as little Johnny can put a condom on a cucumber by 3rd grade, “it’s all good” as the jackasses say today. {sarcasm}

I grew up in Western New York in the 90s.
In latchkey, the after school deal I went to from 1st to 3rd grade, I used to make lego guns and airplanes and have battles and stuff all the time. I’d also draw massive battles with Nazis getting killed, thanks to Indiana Jones instilling in me a love of dead Nazis at an early age. My parents got called in over swastikas on my Nazi units, so I had to explain that the Nazis were getting killed, not the good guys. Nothing came of that.
In 6th grade social studies, I made a 36″ square clay battle scene of a medieval village being sacked. I made little guys out of Q-tips and pipe cleaners, had a horse getting hit with a ballista bolt, half burned houses, the whole works. It was awesome!
Then when I was in 8th or 9th grade art, we had to design and draw a magazine cover. I made a gun magazine, with a kickass AK-47 on it. Nobody cared.
I guess things have really gone hill in the last 15 years or so. If I did that stuff today I’d probably end up in a psych ward. Homeschooling for my kids, thanks…

What does he get for saying “Pew, pew,” when he makes the gun shape?
Expulsion?

we can’t even say “PEW, PEW” anymore? Damn it!
