Well, I opened this to put up a post on the 6-year old boy who was suspended from school for drawing stick figures pointing guns at each other's heads but I closed that link. OH, here it is...First-grader suspended over drawing I guess, to me, suspension is kind of an over reaction to something this little.
Hell, a girl drew that exact sort of picture about my daughter, with her name on the figure that was to be shot, in 6th grade at age 12 and that girl didn't get suspended. There was a conference with the parents and the child and the problem was solved.
Could it be that because this little kid is a boy that the school took such drastic actions? Or is the pc thing just becoming so anal that no matter what a little child does it will be wrong and eventually there will be a jail for kids under the age of 8. Who knows. Such as the little girl charged with drawing grafitti when she was only coloring on the sidewalk with sidewalk chalk. All the same to me, RIDICULOUS!
I don't know about you but I can certainly see one in our future.
Have a great day.......
Who I am in a nutshell: "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success." **Ralph Waldo Emerson**
