USMCE8Ret sends a link from Fox News<\/a> about 7th grader Khalid Caraballo who was playing in his own yard with an Airsoft pistol before the bus came to pick him up when a neighbor saw the children playing and called the police. Young Kalid was suspended from school under it’s “zero tolerance” policy in regards to guns. I saw the story last night, but the school hadn’t weighed in yet. Apparently they have now;<\/p>\n

In a letter obtained by WAVY.com, school principal Matthew Delaney found that the “children were firing pellet guns at each other, and at people near the bus stop.” Delaney states in the letter that one child “was only 10 feet from the bus stop, and ran from the shots being fired, but was still hit.”<\/p>\n

The school’s so-called “zero-tolerance” policy on guns extends to private property, according to the report.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I think they need to check their copy of the Constitution. The school claims that the kids were playing “within 10 feet” of a bus stop. So? Do the schools understand who are their employers? They work for us. And this is a “zero-minus tolerance” policy. Clearly the school has stepped outside the boundaries of their responsibilities. Maybe they’d like to send a list of approved activities for students to engage in at their homes under the supervision of their parents, too. I guess schools and their administrators have come to the conclusion that they don’t know how to teach children, so they’re looking for something they can do instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
