I hope that everyone doesn't think that everyone in this state is STUPID. I read this on another gun forum, I am so glad my daughter is out of school. That kid may be the next Macgyver if he could just turn his mashed potatoes into C-4. I am scared to think what I may have done if it were my kid, you just can't fix stupid. I only expect the school system to teach them reading and writing, leave the gun area for me.

Kids been play shooting with fake guns since....??? My 10 year old sees a gun in everything he touches. Dorky kid. But he knows the difference and has respect for the real deal. We goto the range regularly and he is very cautious and mindfull of what he is doing.

I think they (the schools) are WAY over the top with this stuff. All knee jerk reactions to the unfortunate incidents that have taken place over the years.

"Taylor said the school system has made it clear that if her son eats his pizza into the shape of a gun again and there is a similar occurrence, he will be suspended."

Then she can sue the district for denying her son's protected right to an education. They will knuckle under rather than pay thousands to defend their rediculous position.

School officials said "the child threatened other children." With what, the pizza?

I'm betting that more kids in that school will suffer health problems from the food served in that school than will suffer injury from a gun.

If the school administrators are really concerned about children and guns then they should invite the NRA into the school to teach those children about firearms and safety.

Hoplophobia is a learned disease.

Apparently there is a little more to this story, the article states: He's being punished because "some students reported he was making some threatening hand gestures, that he was shooting other kids at the table and they reported it to a teacher," according to Evans. He continued, "The student didn't tell him the truth about it so he got silent lunch for six days."
So I have to ask myself; how would I like to be shot with a slice of pizza, would it hurt as much as being shot with a finger? I don't know if I would have what it takes to attend todays schools, I would likely be a 1st grade expellee.

I wonder if DuPont makes a pepperoni proof Kevlar vest, hummmmm. Could be a patent here!

I have zero tolerance of zero tolerance policies.

The real crime here is the quality of school lunches. Perhaps the pizza IS a deadly weapon.

Playing with food is just wrong! ;-)

Aw comeon...I am a photographer and we play with food all the time we do a shoot in that department. We just can't eat them afterwards ... )) Teaching our kids to play with their food is a great way to encourage them to eat vegetables for one...even the winter snowman likes his carrot nose,eh??? Learned to love playing with food after I went on my own. It's fun.

I have dealt with several students who were sent to a hospital emargency department for "evaluation" for similar incidents. Then again, I work in New Jersey, which is probably the main reason for the system dysfunction. The "Finger gun" is often perceived as a dangerous weapon in New Jersey!
