Do you think it is liberalism ?
Yes..
Do you think it is liberalism ?
Yes..
When you start own with a strawman, you look silly. I'm simply saying what could have happened. Are you saying these things can't happen?
Kids with toy guns shouldn't be touched ?
That's your bias talking.
What is "beyond absurd" is high school administrators. You can find laughably stupid actions by such persons regardless of whether they are in Reddy McRedState or in a blue state.
Yes, pedophilia is also wrong.
Of course it is. To them, this is no different than a Howitzer.

hmm .What do you think about cops shooting those kids with toy guns ?
With a toy gun that looks like a real gun, yes. But not a transparent pastel pixie dust bubble blower.
Water guns have almost always been banned in elementary schools, outside of organized activity of course.
Seriously? Did you see the picture?
Welcome to zero tolerance policy design, you end up with zero reason.
But worthy of a suspension? This one?
She was sent home for the day and yes, that has typically been what has happened for decades. But after reading the district's defense I don't think she was sent home for the water gun, but for the gun part. Either way, it wasn't some horrible punishment. She brought something to school that every parent in CO, any school, knows their children can't bring to school. She's lucky they just sent her home for the rest of the day in this current climate.
didn't you ? Cops never killed any teen with toy gun?
Not one that looked like that, no.

Who are those kids you are talking about and what do they have to do with this kindergartner getting suspended for having a bubble gun? Here's where the non sequitur comes to play.
You are never going to be able to bubble-wrap kids through life, and if you could you would end up with one terrified of just about everything adult.
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...
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.

Yes..
A strawman is a perfectly acceptable response to a non sequitur.
