I saw one of my kids doing that at recess the other day. I did nothing. Scandalous.
You should be ashamed of yourself, Josie. How dare you let your kids run around with military-grade weapons?
Hoke County is a Democrat stronghold in NC. This is not surprising to me, based on where it happened.

Stupid on the schools part. Glad my daughter didn't have to go to school with these type policies.
Amazing how some of us were able to grow up playing dodge ball, king of the hill, war games with play guns, no seat belts in the vehicles, etc. I bet the majority of us are not violent people, fought for our country, open doors for people, give up a seat on mass transportation to someone more needing, look out for our neighbors and help them when they are in a bind.
I am sad that the little girl got suspended for having an imagination in play. Just not right.
Guns like that are so common they grow on trees. *First*
BB gun fights, "Smear the Queer", snowballs with ice and/or rocks in them, sword fights with broom handles, practicing "pro-wrestling" moves on our little sister, damming up creeks to make swimming holes, building model cars - blowing them up with firecrackers and them rebuilding new cars out of the scraps and blowing them, rifle in the gun racks in our trucks at High School (I remember the day there was deer hanging in the auto shop after someone shot it during lunch).
My answer: "Caitlin, honey. Sometimes even adults do stupid things, and unfortunately sometimes you just have to deal with it.", or some such variation. The basic point would be that adults can be stupid, too.Quote from linked article in OP:
Caitlin was back in school on Tuesday, but her mother is having trouble explaining the reason for the suspension.
I 'liked' it...but only because it was so obvious and sooooooo bad....Guns like that are so common they grow on trees. *First*
Sure...and then they make finger guns and we make all kids were mittens.THAT'S IT!!! We need to get rid of all trees that a child could possibly play around!
