School Suspends Boy for Sketching Gun

Story here.

Let's put this in perspective. The boy simply sketched a picture of a gun. No bullets or threats were included on this drawing. Are we shocked? Society criminalizes men for the most assine reasons. The attack on boys is growing at an alarming rate: another reason why boys have become disinterested with school.

We need to educate the mothers of young boys. As any good parent, if they were aware of this boy crisis, they would demand massive changes throughout the education system.

Let's be honest, most women want their sons to succeed. That's why I gave my sister with two sons a copy of Sommer's break through book: "The War Against Boys." My sister was shocked and felt the book was so important, she gave several copies to other women affiliated with the P.T.A.

(From the article) - "Chandler district spokesman Terry Locke said the crude sketch was "absolutely considered a threat," and that threatening words or pictures are punishable."

Wow! It is gonna be very challenging to teach anything about the American Revolution, the U.S. Constitution, Civil Rights Movement, Feminism, even the weather...

Now that schools are afraid of threatening SYMBOLS of any kind.

This is not education.

It is a daily lobotomy for our children.

Paid by your tax dollars....

Just like the Newspeak Dictionary from "1984"-- each year it gets smaller, not larger.
