Boy nearly suspended over LEGO toy…
February 4, 2010I heard on the news today that a boy was nearly suspended over a LEGO toy gun. This is one of the most outrageous things I have heard in a while.
Here’s the scoop: http://www.bostonherald.com/news/national/northeast/view/20100204nyc_boy_nearly_suspended_over_2-inch_toy_gun/srvc=home&position=recent
I wonder if the principal thought he was going to somehow manage to hurt another child with it. How in the world is a 2 inch piece of plastic supposed to threaten to ANYONE?? I suppose he could have poked someone’s eye out but come on.. This principal must not have children or she would have simply confiscated the toy and told him not to bring it again. It’s not like it was a functioning weapon. It’s solid plastic for heaven’s sake!! (Unless LEGO is making 2 inch plastic bb guns now, and I am simply not aware of this change.) This lack of common sense is one of the things (amongst many) that is ruining our great country.
I would love to hear your feedback.
