Kid suspended for drawing a gun

I think they also had hit lists, real guns acquired illegally, a plan, and explosives.

Would it be OK if he drew a gun at home? Would that not raise some sort of red flag just as drawing one at school would?

I'm sorry, but the whole guns are evil in and of themselves thing just irritates me. No tolerance shouldn't mean no intelligence.

If he drew the gun at home on his homework and then handed it in, yes. It's just not appropriate.

If I was the parent, and I saw it, it may just be a red flag. Not a finalized judgement on my son, but I would definitely keep an eye on him for anger issues, search his room for guns, etc.

Guns are made to kill or wound something/someone or to put holes is something. How could anyone think that guns are evil?
