‘Toaster Pastry Gun Freedom Act’ proposed in Maryland
A Maryland state senator has crafted a bill to curb the zeal of public school officials who are tempted to suspend students as young as kindergarten for having things — or talking about things, or eating things — that represent guns, but aren’t actually anything like real guns.
Sen. J. B. Jennings, a Republican who represents Baltimore Harford Counties, introduced “The Reasonable School Discipline Act of 2013″ on Thursday, reports The Star Democrat.
“We really need to re-evaluate how kids are punished,” Jennings told The Star Democrat. “These kids can’t comprehend what they are doing or the ramifications of their actions.”
The point is that the kids aren't doing anything "wrong", they're harmlessly playing like kids have done since the first human ancestor descended from the trees (and almost certainly before that), and there are no "ramifications" other than those cooked up by the idiots who try to impose a "guns don't exist" education on all children.
“These suspensions are going on their permanent records and could have lasting effects on their educations,” he added.
A nationwide flurry of suspensions seemed to reach an absurd level recently when Josh Welch, a second-grader at Park Elementary School in Baltimore, Maryland, was suspended for two days because his teacher thought he shaped a strawberry, pre-baked toaster pastry into something resembling a gun.
I expressed my opinion on this
once, but to reiterate; all teachers and administrators involved in such an incident should be given a week furlough with no pay, and required to attend a gun safety course at their own expense, to learn to distinguish between guns and toaster pastries.
