School administrators are worthless parasites. This apparently gave them something upon which to focus. It’s pathetic that they weren’t even aware of their own codes of conduct. Zero tolerance = zero intelligence. “Absolutely considered a threat” followed by a lecture on Columbine. I detect a wonderful coupling of both narcissism and paranoia. I’m sure all involved on the school end are “tolerant and intelligent” people. Yep. At the very least, an apology is warranted to the kid. What the hell can you draw in school that doesn’t offend some fruit? Better not to draw and just sit in your seat and hope your continued existence doesn’t offend somebody. Don’t think, speak or in any way express yourself… it’s for the best. Stupid never takes a day off.

What a bunch of fear mongering idiots! That school want to see a threat…. try punishing my child for absolutely nothing and see how I react. It is not guns that is making this world a screwed up place to live… It is people like this that are so hell bent on enforcing their views of the world that they are willing to take down an innocent child to do it.

omg this school is retarted
and that little boy didnt do anyi\thing wrong
and the school just wanted attention.
so i dont think that little boy didnt do anything wrong he was simply being a kid and doodling because he was bored at school.
(like every other kid to ever attend school)

Rubbish.

Fifteen years ago when I was in middle school, I was taken out of class and sent to the school psychiatrist for a full evaluation on my psych profile when my english teacher reccomended me as being a threat to myself and others.

Why?

I drew a little (about the size of a postage stamp) picture of a smiley face with a bullet hole in its head with a handgun next to it.

I thought it was a whimsical statement reflecting the grade I knew my paper would get after I turned it in. Not that I had secret urges to kill.

Teachers can be massively paranoid, but wouldn’t you be too if you had to be around hundreds of screaming hormone filled, easily influenced youth day in and day out that are all brainwashed from a lifetime of mind-numbing television, being packed full of ideas of what society is and how they should act based off of… reality TV… then there’s the parents that are too busy with their own shit to pay attention to their kids and then they blame their children’s behaviour on TV and video games.

Bullshit. Don’t have kids if you can’t care for them.

Ah, but I digress…

Sure look’s like a space ship to me…

These zero-tolerance rules mean youy need to check your mind at the school enterance… it’s no wonder the kids ain’t learning squat.
