The Left's War on Children: Kindergartner Charged With Terrorism for Bubble Gun Threat

Moonbattery, who never ever links to any other websites or blogs (but I do, in spite of this), has an interesting post about a five year old girl, a kindergartner, who was suspended for ten days from a Pennsylvania elementary school for "making terroristic threats."

The little girl was waiting at the school bus stop when she told another girl that she was going to shoot her and herself with a pink plastic Hello Kitty bubble gun.  The toy gun shoots soap bubbles.

The Principal of Mount Carmel Elementary
Met With Reporters But For Some Reason
His Voice Was Muffled and Incomprehensible

The heroic administrators of Mount Carmel Area Elementary School moved quickly to lessen the threat, following a rash of terrorist attacks worldwide using the fearsome Hello Kitty Bubble Gun (see above, where an assassination attempt barely failed when the Bubble Gun ran out of soap.  The victim was rushed to a hospital where he was put on life support in the intensive care wing. We can only thank God that the terrorist didn't use a larger caliber weapon, e.g. a squirt gun.)

In light of the violent record of Hello Kitty products, the school administrators questioned the little five-year-old girl for three hours.  The child was given a psychiatric examination which showed her not to be a threat.  On that basis, her suspension was lessened to only four days.  We are told that no bail has been set, in spite of the fact that the kindergartner deliberately failed to register the bubble gun with police.  Incredibly, no consultation was made with Interpol to discover other terroristic plots and pogroms.

Obviously, the school officials at Mount Carmel Area Elementary School have their heads WAY up their asses.  One can only wonder at the extent of the psychological damage these assholes perpetrated on an innocent child.  Many idiotic school officials have a "zero tolerance policy" for any threat, no matter how far-fetched or downright ridiculous, that occurs on school grounds (or at bus stops, apparently).  What they really have is a "zero tolerance policy" for common sense.  They have become radical extremists, brainwashing and terrorizing innocent school children.  THEY are the ones who should require a psychiatric examination.

Officials at Mount Carmel Elementary:  you have my profound disgust.  You are not forces for good, but for evil, deserving only of contempt.

Oklahoma Teacher Has Her Student, 13, Arrested for Using a Permanent Marker in Class

Talk about a busy-body on steroids.  DeLynn Woodside, a 50 year old 7th Grade math teacher at Oklahoma City's Roosevelt Middle School, made a citizen's arrest of a 13 year old student.  His crime:  she caught him writing in class with a Sharpie pen, which bled through the paper onto the desk.  Permanent markers are illegal in Oklahoma, under certain circumstances.  This is based on an obscure law designed to prevent graffiti.

Another youngster is criminalized by the public school system for seemingly innocent infractions of some rule.  You can write or call the school at the following:

Roosevelt Middle School
3233 Southwest 44th Street
Oklahoma City, OK 73119-4399
(405) 685-7795

What's the matter with airhead teachers these days? So many seem to be completely devoid of all common sense. I wrote about this phenomenon in October 2009:

DeLynn Woodside

You hear a version of this story nearly every week.  Some public school official turns in some student for "bringing a weapon to school" where the "zero-tolerance policy" requires that the student be suspended or worse.  A 5th grader brings a birthday cake to school to share with her classmates, as well as a pastry knife to cut it with; the teacher uses the knife to cut the cake, then turns the little girl in for "bringing a weapon to school."

A six year old cub scout brings his scout camping tool to school to eat lunch with.  The tool is a combination folding fork, knife and spoon.  He was charged with "bringing a weapon to school" and ordered to spend 45 days in an alternative school for trouble makers.

Now an Eagle Scout, Matthew Whalen,  has been suspended from Lansinburgh High School in Troy, New York, for carrying a two inch utility knife in the trunk of his car.  The knife is part of Whalen's scout survival kit that includes a sleeping bag, water, a ready-to-eat meal and the small pocket knife in question.  When School Superintendent George Goodwin found out about the pocket knife, he suspended Whalen from school for 20 days.  Goodwin refuses to reconsider the draconian punishment, or talk to Matthew or his parents about his decision. 

This is the totalitarian mindset, where rules are rigidly enforced without the benefit of judgment or context, even when the alleged "weapon" is a pocket knife or eating utensil.
