More Crazy School News

Second Grade Student Suspended for Drawing Stick Figure Firing Gun - More stuff you are not allowed to do in school. I'm all for helping to curb violence, but this seems yet another example of a hysterical-type reaction.

So, here's the score of what is allowed or not in schools.
  • You cannot draw stick who shoot at each other.- 2nd grade Suspension
  • You cannot point your "gun finger" at another pretending to shoot them. Kindergarten Suspension.
  • No tag.
  • No taking Tylenol from a friend- Junior High Suspension and drug counseling.
  • Just say No to drugs.- How come we have no "Safe Drug Use"?
  • You cannot hug other students on the way to class.- Junior High
  • Birth control pills, condoms- No problem- your parents don't even need to know. -Junior High
  • Abortion- No problem- in some schools- your parents don't even need to know.
  • Born a boy- feel like a girl- You can go ahead and use the girls' lockeroom and bathroom.- Recently signed bill by Gov. Schwarzengger.
  • Say the name of Jesus at a graduation speech- You don't get your diploma unless you apologize.
  • Read your 2nd graders a story where Prince Charming meets and marries Prince Charming.- No problem.
  • Tell others that homosexuality is wrong, or immoral- You are accused of hate speech.

This, I am sure, is just a partial list. If I have misrepresented any of the facts, please let me know. What in the world is going on in our society that things are so warped? It absolutely boggles my mind. People are hysterical, even in the education field. We've got our priorities all messed up, I say.
