Americans have a constitutional right to bear arms. Perhaps in this day and age of confused fear of violence, some Americans like, oh, say, school teachers should have an official obligation to know a little something about firearms.
Here's the latest chapter in scary school silliness. In deep southern Illinois this week, Kristy Jackson went to pick up her four-year-old son Hunter from pre-school. She was greeted by an extremely unhappy teacher who said the little boy had brought to school a dangerous "shotgun bullet."
Never mind there's no such thing. Jackson was shocked, but also puzzled because her son had just spent a bonding afternoon learning the beginnings of gun safety from his grandfather, a police officer.
The stern teacher led Hunter's Mom to the principal's office. There, she was handed the evidence that had condemned her son, a tiny empty .22 shell casing. {A "shotgun bullet" that turned out to be an empty .22 shell casing?! This "teacher" is a certifiable MORON!}
According to Jackson's reasoned account on Facebook, she was also silently handed a piece of paper. It explained that Hunter's behavior warranted a sentence of a seven-day suspension from school. "I still was expected to pay tuition, of course. And a threat that if his enthusiasm for guns continued, he'd be permanently expelled." ...
{I would hand the principal and the teacher a piece of paper stating that their ridiculous behavior warranted the assessment that they are not of sufficient intellectual maturity to be able to teach pre-school children. I wouldn't pay them another dime, and I would use the 7 days to find a new pre-school for my son.}
