[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a kid brought a toy gun, or even a pop tart shaped like a gun to school-they get in trouble-the school knows these things are harmless. This kid brought a bomb looking clock into school-even if they knew it was not a bomb-it was against school policy to have it in school. He broke school rules-his engineering teacher told him to keep it hidden-why did he take it out, and plug it in so it beeped? in ENGLISH CLASS? just days after the anniversary of 9/11 I might add-he may be an innocent kid-but he is also an idiot![/quote]

The pop tart incident was mind numbingly dumb.   That aside, [b]toy guns are actually things that look like guns.   [/b]

It is apparently a matter of some debate as to whether an electronics project involving a battery and some wires, looks like a bomb.

It doesn't look like a bomb to me.   It looks like a timer.

Now, timers can be attached to bombs, this is true.   But so can a watch.  Or a cell phone.   Or a laptop.   So should all kids who bring a watch, call phone or laptop also be suspended for bringing a Bomb-like object to school?[/quote]

A little boy got in serious trouble for bringing in a Lego gun from one of those TINY action Lego figures. The gun was maybe the size of a man's thumbnail. How on earth could anyone mistake that as a real gun? The school went WAY over the top on this, yes. The engineering teacher's word should have held. But to justify the idea of a tiny little toy gun or a pop tart gun, while panning this incident exposes the real reason why pop-tart guns matter - indoctrination.[/quote]
