Kid suspended for drawing a gun - Page 3

On a side note, I changed my avatar from the cat with the gun to the current one, because I kinda felt uneasy about seeing that gun all the time. It kinda made me nervous. Don't know why.

I think you should suspend yourself for your current avatar.

Creepy!

I would have been launched in some sort of probe to Mars for the drawings I did in junior high.

I did have one really concerned teacher, who sat me down with my parents to ask about some of the things I drew; she was one of the few I can recall and respect.

No, no. I meant that he is supposed to know better being treated like an adult. The kid is 13. He is a 13 y/o boy! Last time I checked 13 y/o boys weren't known for their thinking things through before they do it.

I agree with you. I talking to should have been done.

I wonder if any books in the school library have pictures of guns.

Burn 'em.

It's not every picture of guns. It's one drawn by a student, who put in it on his homework and then was given to a teacher in a post-Columbine world.
Didn't the Columbine gunmen have a journal with drawings in it?
I'm just saying...

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?
