tl:dr-- boy brought tiny toy gun to school and was ALMOST suspended.



I don't know what's worse... the kid almost being suspended, or the mom threatening to sue. Seriously? Sue? On what grounds?

God there is so much wrong with this country.

That principal has no business being a school administrator if his decision-making skills are really as poor as this article claims.  If it takes a lawsuit to get rid of him, I am all for it.  That is just if the article was telling the truth, which I kind of have my doubts about because of how obviously subjective it was.

How is this any example of a nanny state?

The principal and mother are both just  insane.

Obviously this is a left winged, liberal plot to take both children and guns out of our schools.

This is just one more way to shove their 'Merican hating ways down the throats of our young, causing them to hate Jesus.

But wait, if the media is left leaning and liberal, wouldn't they have been supporting the principal and his championing of the anti gun mentality? So if they are supporting the mom, who is obviously pro gun and thus a good Jesus loving Christian, than that would make the media convservative and thus as we have all been taught by people older and wiser than all of you, all of the media must be conservative and right wing now.

Maybe this is just the work of an undercover conservative agent who has infiltrated the MSM.

NYS is famous for idiotic 'rules' to the extreme. This is just one example of "Nanny" over-reacting to a situation. Schools can't even have a kid draw a picture of a gun, without some for of faculty reprecussions, based on the zero tolerance stance. And try riding a bicycle without a helmet and have a trooper drive by, for decades we managed not to kill our selves without helmets, now 'Nanny' requires one.

But you have no proof, can't you find some link having nothing to do with this in order to support your claim? Without such lack of supporting evidence your claim cannot be true.

Obviously you missread the article. My sources obviously support my side, as you will see below, the media obviously supports the principal.
 
 
As you can see, while your article may contain quotes and commentary and other various things, you will plainly be able to see that my above link contains the facts. This is a ploy to create a distraction so that while we are all focused on the horrific nature of this incident, the liberals who control our government, and all of you left winged radicals, will be able to slide your anti gun laws past the conservative population. I have facts to back up this accusation as well, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is in our governments agenda to take every firearm they can out of the hands of the citizens.
 
 
So now, based on my facts and evidence, you now see that the media is attempting a cover up, just to throw us off of their left wing, liberal ways, and at the same time, creating a diversion to get rid of the guns, which obviously will cause God to obliterate man kind, because we as U.S. citizens, are really the only reason God cares anymore. Plus Obama will raise the taxes. I'm not sure how that ties in, but he just will.

^^^^ I am sorry, but even though your evidence is strong, I will have to ignore it and insist that I am right. Based on the simple fact that I am older than you and used to be a professional Ice Cream Scooper at Haagen Daz back in the late 80's. I am sorry that my experiences making double scoop Mint Chocolate Chip Waffle Cones out weighs your silly logic and proof. Did I mention that someone distantly related to me once did something awesome that I had nothing to do with, but will continue to claim credit for? But I really don't care what all of you internet losers say, because I don't care about your opinions. That is why I spend 3-4 hours a day here.

Principal is wrong. It's a 2 inch toy, clearly fake. He's wrong, and an idiot.

Here is my proof from a very reliable source.  Of course, the MSM is trying to cover up this story. http://**edited**-conservative.blogspot.com/

Too many lulz are being had for an immediate reply, so I will clearly ignore your post until a later time where I will revive the subject with additional proof.
