Again, more of the “pussification” of America. I apologize, but I can think of no other more appropriate word than that. This nation wants to turn its boys into girls, and its success into abject failure.
From FoxNews.com:
Two seventh-grade students in Virginia Beach, Va., were handed long-term suspensions Tuesday that will last until the end of the school year for playing with an airsoft gun in one of their front yards while waiting for the school bus.
WAVY-TV reports that 13-year-old Khalid Caraballo and Aidan Clark will face an additional hearing in January to determine if they will be expelled for “possession, handling and use of a firearm” because the guns were fired at two others playing in Caraballo’s yard.
A neighbor saw Khalid shooting the airsoft gun in his yard and called 911, telling the dispatcher, “He is pointing the gun, and it looks like there’s a target in a tree in his front yard,” the station reported.
Are you serious? A kid got suspended — at school — because of what he did NOT ON CAMPUS but in his own front yard, not during school time? Are you serious?
Yes. These liberal genetic mutants are very serious.
The school’s so-called “zero-tolerance” policy on guns extends to private property, according to the report.
So there you go. Government school control extends, now, not just on school grounds but on your very own private property.
Let me also add, for those of you who are convinced I am a racist: the kids involved may have been black.
What? Not perfect little Caucasoids interrupted by logical play? A few actual black kids oppressed by Leftist schools?
In a word: yes.
Khalid’s mother, Solangel Caraballo, said it’s ridiculous that her son and his friends were suspended because they were firing the airsoft gun on private property.
“My son is my private property. He does not become the school’s property until he goes to the bus stop, gets on the bus, and goes to school,” Caraballo told the station.
But: there you go. NOT thinking like a Leftist. NOT thinking that Leftists want to control every aspect of everyone’s life. How silly of you. Perhaps now the clouds are parting on your planet, Ms Caraballo.

This is an outrage. ALL the parents should band together and call out the entire administration for this. What children do in their own yard has absolutely nothing to do with administration of a school. Not only is this a usurpation of personal rights and privacy, this kind of action does damage children, particularly boys in this instance. Teach a sheep to be a sheep, what do you get? Certainly not future leaders of our country.
Absolutely correct. But that is how intrusive government and institutions are — and like good sheep, seldom do we complain.

Those school administrators should be fired. Instead, they will probably get praises and honors. Sickening!
This is Crazy, This Child is harming No one All He is Doing is Playing. The Government and School need to Stay out if This. He is harming no one all He is doing is Playing. All of You that have Nothing Better to do need to Get a Life and stay out of Others. This after all is America not a Communist State. Impeach Obama!!!!!!!
Every day brings a brand new exercise of unwarranted and unlawful power from government entities.

So, I looked at the picture on this post, and immediately my mind went here.

My other comments, well let’s see how the school administrators who let 50 Colorado school children go on a camping trip during the rain with flash flood warnings and weather advisories stating potentials for biblical flooding are handled. The children, chaperones, and faculty had to be evacuated by CH-83’s or 84’s by the National Guard after venturing into the weather and getting stranded. Certainly there was more of a hazard here than an airsoft toy and more reckless decisions being made, by ADULTS.
