A kindergarten student was suspended for bringing a toy bubble-blowing gun to a school in the Denver suburbs on Monday.
The 5-year-old girl received the one-day suspension “for bringing a clear bubble-type gun” to Southeast Elementary in Brighton, according to Colorado’s School District 27J.

Liberalism is beyond absurd.

The little homicidal maniac is lucky that all she got was a suspension!!!
Yeah, she could have had a police car drive up to her and kill her without even so much as a word exchanged between her and the officers. :mrgreen:
yes I agree with you on this however it is not liberal cops who shoot at such boys with toy guns ,you agree ?Maybe they wanted to protect the girl from such copsOf course it is. To them, this is no different than a Howitzer.
Now if Billy wants to pull his wanker out and pee in the girls bathroom, well, "whatever makes you feel better, Billy!" Just don't bring a toy bubble gun to school.
Zero tolerance for any common sense and heavy on the excessive PC. Yup! That's our education system.Welcome to zero tolerance policy design, you end up with zero reason.

That's an AUTOMATIC bubble gun and is capable of getting soap bubbles into the eyes of millions of children with just one squeeze of the trigger. Besides, there is the distinct probability that bringing a bubble gun to school is just a dry run for bringing an AK next time. The little bitch was probably plotting the mass extermination of all her classmates. You can't be too careful nowadays.
Yep, because as liberals point out to us, this happens ALL the time.Constantly, in every corner of the universe. Cops are the worst among us, far worse than the innocent thugs minding their own business.

How is this "liberals" fault? This is zero-tolerance at its finest. Mostly it results from people suing the schools all the time.
And yet the "liberal" ACLU is speaking out against the suspension...
The educational system promotes thinking that ideas are as bad as actions and this is why education is so ideological and 3rd rate.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ging-a-bubble-blowing-gun-to-colorado-school/

Zero tolerance is not open to interpretation by design. The purpose of this is to use the most simple, commonly accessible description of a rule as possible. This makes your statement here false by definition.
A one day suspension is absolutely nothing, i'm not glad that we're rewarding this attention seeking whiner.

Nothing wrong with my statement, we are arguing point of view. Supporting zero tolerance policies means supporting the idea of suspending critical reason, it literally gets school administration off the hook for having to think about what happened.
So you end up with a kindergartner sent home for a plastic bubble gun, and asinine suggestions that it was warranted.
It's the 'idea' of having a gun that is being prosecuted.So from what I've gathered, the school has a rule against “carrying, using, actively displaying or threatening with the use of a firearm facsimile that could reasonably be mistaken for an actual firearm."
So, essentially, they're not even following their own guidelines? I mean, the facsimile needs to be **REASONABLY MISTAKEN**, and I'm not sorry, you'd have to be really, really oblivious to confuse something like the toy that got this 5 year old suspended with a genuine firearm...
Sidenote: I think many of you on this board wanted some Cleveland cops prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for killing a child aiming an imitation gun (that looked lifelike). Zero tolerance is zero tolerance. One can't forgive one while prosecuting the other because it fell within your ideology.Nothing wrong with my statement, we are arguing point of view.

The reasons for not bringing plastic toys is pretty simple. My kid has zero tolerance rulefor ALL plastic toys, not just plastic bubble sprayers and I suspect this school is not all that different. Plastic toys break, plastic ends up in kid's hands, and depending on the kid - mouths. No school wants to be held liable for broken plastic ending up in some kid's throat. If that's the reason, I don't really see an issue with this at all.
