It's a good thing the kid did not have the genuine Marvin the Martian A-1 Disintegrating Pistol/Acme Disintegrating Pistol

Potential Charges Over Child’s Toy Gun in School Zoom Class

It turns out all too often that teachers and administrators are the biggest bullies of all...

We need a purge

 

[Ferrisfan]

Some of these are frighteningly realistic, and I wouldn't buy one of those for a 13 year old in fear that they would be SWATTED if they were outside playing with it.

But this response was ridiculous once it was confirmed to be a toy.

York Co PA BTW. The infection is spreading from NY/NJ area.

I got yelled at by an old woman in a homey little motel lobby in the NC mountains because my three year old son had on cowboy boots, cowboy hat, and a solid orange plastic $2 carbine that was about 18” long. Looked like a lever gun, but mostly like a squirt gun.

And that was almost thirty years ago. All that stupid has been compounding daily ever since.

Own a toy in your own home? That's an arrestin'

Maybe it's time to stop letting liberal morons dominate education.

I suppose that the Zoom made, in the twisted minds of the liberal "educators" in charge, the boy's home part of the classroom. That is quite ridiculous like so many other things those people think and do.

When I was in middle school, one day I realized I brought my pocket knife to school. I went and told the teacher. She said keep it in your pocket. I did. End of story.

In high school I had teachers asking to use mine.

But I also had a coach tell the team to “bring all the guns and knives you can get to school tomorrow” for a team conference champs pic. It was a different time.

Oh good grief already.

I carried a knife all through HS and half of middle school. We also kept long guns in the back windows of our pick up trucks in the parking lot so we could go deer, squirrel or turkey hunt after school. All very normal and not even a hiccup about any of it.

But we also didn’t have purple haired teachers with pronouns hosing drag queen story time.

We had a nice covered 25 yard shooting range at my HS. I would often leave school to go hunting having had the guns in my car and the boat on the trailer behind my old VW Beetle. They used my duck gun as a prop in a school play. Life was different then. About all we had to worry about was Russian nukes and the very real possibility of having to go fight people in pajamas in SE Asia.

 

[noway2]

The problem, is NOT the gun.

 

[HandyDave]

Carried a pocket knife in school since elementary school. Never no issues. High school guys had there rifles in back windows of trucks or trunks of cars. There was a shooting team at school. And had a smoking section for students who was of age even though no id's was ever asked for. Simpler times, better times and alot less stupid ass people roaming around creating conflict where there is none.

About time to pay as much respect or attention to petty charges like this as the states do to clear and concise SCOTUS rulings.

Related, I noticed the NM DA (or similar such position) refusing to extradite NY murder suspect since they likely wouldn’t be charged. Seems the rule of law is getting a bit shaky.

Similar thing happened to me. Teacher took the knife for the day and gave it back when I got on the bus.

Had a school play in 8th grade that required me to play the part of a mountain man. Brought my single shot Springfield .22 to school to look the part. Principal came and talked to me and we agreed I would take the bolt out of it so it couldn’t fire.

In history class, we broke into groups and did a section of history. My group did the war of 1812. There was the “Indian” component, so our news war correspondent, via satellite, covered the battlefield where a guy was talking about the situation while loading a lack powder muzzle loader. An Indian appeared with a tomahawk and got a face full of black powder and played dead.

Actual guns, fired at a student in a high school lesson.

It was up there with our recreation of the battle of Lake Erie with paper ships sinking and the White House burning to that song “Beds are burning”.

Can we start a gofundme to send every kid in York county a toy gun?

In 9th grade I lost one of those orange handled ww2 switchblades to a teacher. Wasn’t happy about that, had loaned it to friend who played with it too much and for no resason.
