More Public School Stupidity....

...than you can hope to shake a stick at.

Yet another student has been suspended for having something that represents a gun, but isn’t actually anything like a real gun.

This time, Daniel McClaine, Jr., a freshman at Poston Butte High School in Tan Valley, Arizona, made the mistake of setting a picture of a gun as the desktop background on his school-issued computer.

The picture shows an AK-47 lying on a flag, reports KNXV-TV. The gun isn’t his, McClaine assured the ABC affiliate in Phoenix. He found it on the Internet and liked it, partly because he is interested in serving in the military after graduation.

A teacher reportedly ratted McClaine out after noticing the Soviet-era rifle on the computer. McClaine originally received a three-day suspension.

I've contended that this is a concerted effort to demonize guns and vilify gun owners, to turn our children and grandchildren into quivering masses at even the mention of a g-u-n.

Mom Says School Went Too Far Punishing Child For 'Paper Gun' - Philadelphia News, Weather and Sports from WTXF FOX 29

A mom believes a South Philadelphia elementary school went too far when she says administrators punished her little girl for pulling out a paper gun in class.

Melody Valentin says she pulled out a paper gun last week and says a school administrator scolded her in front of the entire class.

Her mom, Dianna Kelly, tells FOX 29's Dave Kinchen that school staff even searched her, with other kids watching the whole time.

The paper gun, according to her mom, looks something like a sheet of paper folded over. Her mom says it was made by the girl's grandfather the day before.

Valentin says she went to throw it away, but a boy saw it and called the administrators.

"He yelled at me and said I shouldn't have brought the gun to school and I kept telling him it was a paper gun but he wouldn't listen," Valentin said.

Calls made by FOX 29 to school administrators were not returned. As a result, FOX 29's Dave Kinchen went to the School District of Philadelphia for some answers. The district told FOX 29 that it wasn't able to reach officials at the school to research the matter. FOX 29 will continue to reach out to the school district for comment.


Ever notice that schools are like the cops? When confronted by the public, they close ranks and stonewall, believing, apparently, they don't have to answer to the people whom they are sworn to protect (yeah, right) and serve, and who pay their salaries.

What else do they have in common? Thugish unions.

One has to wonder, has there been a virus attack of stupidity that is spread by school paste? Or, are the teachers primed by a liberal, nanny-state education to be transfixed by the news of some other teachers' stupidity? Maybe it a Manchurian Candidate type deal. They get primed by the teachers'-union-dominated liberal teachers' college. Then when a stupid school administrator makes the news, they respond with "Oh, yeah? You think that's stupid? Watch this!"
