    IMO a serious lack of judgment here. Sketch a gun and get suspened from school! So I guess you cant have hunting or target shooting as a sport. So what if I drew a baseball bat? What a bunch of idiots, poor family.

    MESA, Ariz. (AP) — School officials 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 didn't intend for the picture to be a threat.
    Administrators of Payne Junior High in nearby Chandler suspended the boy on Monday for five days but later reduced it to three days.

    If he would have drawn a cross would they have suspended him for prayer in a public school? Unreal how people think they are helping. I wonder how I made it out of school alive. No helmets, no child proof lids etc. I am speechless and sent of an e mail as well.

    I emailed her, and gave her my support, and told her I would wait for the facts.
    Sounds pretty bad in this article, but I'm sure there is more to it....the sad part is according to the parents the child is an angel!!!
    My sister is an administrator in Norco, and the shit they have to put up with is beyond belief...

    As the song says, it was a different world when we were kids.....

    You're right, it is beyond belief.....but stupidity on the part of parents should not dictate how teachers react to, as reported, an innocuous situation.....
