Michigan 6-Year-Old Suspended From School for Making Gun With Hand
Saturday, March 06, 2010
A Michigan boy has been suspended from school for curling his hand into the shape of a gun and pointing it at another student.
Erin Jammer, said her son, Mason, was just playing around when he made the gesture Wednesday, the Grand Rapids Press reported.
"I do think it's harsh for a six-year-old. He's six and he just likes to play. Maybe what you could do is take his recess away. He's only six and he doesn't understand any of this," Erin Jammer said.
But officials at Jefferson Elementary School said the behavior made other students uncomfortable, and they suspended Mason for the remainder of the week, the paper reported.
School officials also told the paper that Mason had been warned repeatedly against pretending to aim his hand at students but continued the behavior over several months.
Jammer told the paper her son isn't violent and doesn
Perhaps you forgot to include a link for where you received the story.
If I remember rightly, it is always from some extremist blog and traceable back to the same group of botherers at the Heritage Foundation.
In any case, what point do you think you are making?
Oh hang on, it's another (homophobic) lashing out at supposedly "liberal" teachers, isn't it?
So the simple point would be that if boys don't pretend to be shooting people they turn into faggots?
Is that what you intended?
A bit pathetic from anyone older than that 6 year old, don't you think?
I hope you can feel the sarcasm dripping off this post.
Thanks for the one reply to a question I didn't even ask...your are the one spinning here buddy!
Maybe even without needing help.
I know it's probably asking for a lot, but that last post actually doesn't seem to relate to anything in the thread.
If you would like to start again and wri8te something cohesive and straightforward perhaps I can offer some assistance to whatever it is you feel you lack.
Looks like he was suspended for repeated bullying.
The "gun" was merely his tool - probably learned from TV/movies where this action is commonly used as a threat.
Sadly, kids learn the language of violence very early.
Ya think?
I'm just glad they showed little Private Finger how serious pointing your digit at somebody can be. This way when he grows up he knows a real gun means business. Never point your finger at somebody unless you mean to kill him. Or her. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
In 4th grade I got suspended from school for hitting Mother Superior in the stomach, which sent her to the wood floor into a fetal position right in front of the 6th grade class. If I had instead pointed my finger like a gun at her she would have beat the "holy" shit out of me. Kids today don't think.
It's the Virgin Mary Concept we need to teach children on how to handle authority at school.

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but some years ago two Danish journalists heard rumours about an African black (!) magician, who alledgedly could kill by pointing his index finger at someone. He demonstrated his skills on a chicken, and the critter died before the eyes of the shocked journalists. The guy said he had done it to humans as well - it just takes 30 seconds longer, he said.
I'll never point my finger at my own temple again. I fear it might go off someday
Then, call it that and I'm good.
I come from the generation that had toy guns and got to watch Tom's face assume the shape of a frying pan when Jerry hit him.
We had anthropomorphized animated animals shooting each other and only turning their faces black.
We ran around the school playground (not after 9th grade... ....) playing cops/robbers, cowboys/Indians, soldier on soldier, and US/Russkie and made lots of hand gesture weapons - miming guns, bows and arrows, spears, spy radios...it was violence and grand death scenes to make Bosch cringe.
Sometimes kids need a little pandemonium.
If any other kid found it "threatening," he or she never complained....and then probably went into school administration.
So, if it were bullying, they should leave it at that. If he were showing kids a dime and saying he was going to turn them into a dead person, just like Roosevelt, then I would get mad at the kid and not drape it on the fact that he was caught with unauthorized spare change that made the kids without dimes suffer low self esteeem and he was, therefore, suspended.
Agreed.
My suspicion is that the only reason we heard about it is Fox News can play it up as a "gun" issue; with liberals gone bad as the subtext.
... (and we know ALL teachers are liberals), political correctness (read: liberals) running rampant through the canyons of my mind, officious jumped up little nobodies (read: liberals) trying to run our lives, 2nd amendment hating crazies (read: liberals) in control of thinking.... and all during a Democrat Party government... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
