Throw an imaginary hand grenade...

...get really suspended!

BAN IMAGINARY WEAPONS!!! - Chicks on the Right

So we've moved past suspending and disciplining kids for talking about bubble-shooting Hello Kitty guns to punishing them for having imaginations. Great. PROGRESS.

So this poor 7-year old kid gets "dispended" (precious!) for throwing an imaginary grenade into a box of imaginary evil forces, because he was pretending to be an imaginary heroic soldier fighting to save the world. If you're a "progressive" the natural response to that is to SQUELCH that imagination, "dispend" the kid, and make him an example to other kids of how NOT to behave, so that the other kids can all become mindless progressive drones.

Where I used to work, whenever the top brass would meet in a room, the most commonly uttered phrase by passers-by was "you know, just ONE hand grenade...".
