Kid suspended for drawing a gun

That cannot be the actual drawing. If so, this only proves how arts funding cutbacks have hurt kids.

Hmmm. It barely even looks like a gun!

looks like a tazer gun to me... wouldn't work, not like the random stuff i drew on my tests cause i was bored...

What gets me, they suspended him for drawing it... and not why he drew it or even had him counseled about why he drew it??

My generation has the cutbacks... but it might not be that, it could have simply been because he didnt have photoshop and mouse... (why take notes when you can doodle in class ) or ruler and protractor and other great tools for shortcuts... Besides not everyone is Picasso.


Still, Why was he suspended for 5, then deminished to 3 days for drawing?
