Looks like your son has been watching too much Breaking Bad. Next time tell him don't forget Heisenberg's sunglasses though.

So he was given an assignment, assigned the book that the assignment was concerning by the teacher, completes the assignment as instructed, and suspended for following instructions. I would have resembled this guy in that meeting with the principal:

Then again the principal at my kids' school is not a functioning retard. You should have found a way to ask when all the inappropriate books would be burned in the town square.

We would play cops and robbers at recess and used sticks as guns
I remember getting into tussles during recess in elementary school. Punishment? Stand next to each other against the fence until it's over. Result? Boys who fought became friends!
Now a 7 year old will get suspended for fricking wrestling or something.

So, can we assume that the teacher will be suspended for assigning a book to a fifth grader that ends in a murder?
And the librarian for putting that filth in our schools; and the principal for failing to monitor gun violence exposure to students - zero tolerance!

You did the right thing.
You better be careful in terms of protecting your son from retribution for the remainder of the school year. These idiots have each other's backs.
Make sure they don't tarnish his record in some way.

Or you could just not make a bunch of assumptions about shite I didn't say.
Or, the shite you didn't say left you open to misinterpretation by expressing a half-thought?
But, I will also say this board (and me, society at large) will look for and exploit any opportunity hop on the high horse.

Where are the rose bushes?

Even under a zero tolerance policy, I don't see an infraction. The drawing has context. Your kid did a great job.

These stories zero tolerance policie that take the place of reason make me really thankful that we homeschool. We make big sacrifices but it is worth it not to deal with this crap.

Scroll up. Appears it's called Among the Hidden.
This assignment sounds really stupid. Why not just assign each kid the same goddamn book and start a conversation about each individual interpretation through a picture?

If it were me the phone lines would be smoking.
I'd be calling State and US Representative, and Senators, the school board, the state board of education, any and every regulatory body of the school.
Not only did the school assign the book, but they gave instructions to draw the most impressionable part. Clearly the bloody, violent, ending impressed your student the most in a horrific way (he was NOT glorifying it)and then the school "terrorized" and "traumatized" your child further with their draconian and irrational response in isolating, imprisoning, and humiliating your child.
I see early retirement after a substantial jury award in your future! Gratz on hitting it big in the PC backlash lottery!

Sounds like he aced the assignment
B+ at best. Kid forgot to draw the rose bushes.

So their answer is to ban the book?

Guess there are multiple volumes to that book, the first one does not entail what the father stated though.

Jen Talbot- Luke's neighbor who he discovers is also a third child. Jen is the first non-family member Luke has ever met. The daughter of extremely wealthy government official George Talbot, Jen grew up with more freedom than most third children and knowledge of the world as it actually is. She organizes a rally to convince the president to repeal the Population Law. At the end of the book, it is revealed that she and everyone at the rally was shot by the Population Police, directly in front of the Head Government House (as Jen's father says, "The blood actually flowed into the president's rose bushes").

We we are handing 11 year olds books depicting gun violence now?
Just crazy.
Glad you
Should we remove any violence out of history books for young students?
Should they not learn about the wars that were fought to free our nation and in those wars there were guns, people were shot, killed, bloods typically comes out of a person's shot body, this is part of history. Shielding kids from it does nothing but hides them from truths.
What age can we start introducing cold hard truths about man kind and what has been done in battles, war and etc.
There are plenty of 11 year olds that hunt and fish, shoot guns, cleaned their dead deer, fish and etc.
Drawing a gun, bloodshed and etc shouldn't be prohibited if the topic calls for it, there's a difference in depiction of those things.
The problem is the teachers don't want to actually have to do their job and actually interpret the kids work if it has to do with a violent topic. Can't shield them forever nor should they be, otherwise how would they learn the consequences of violence
The PC crowd is just a bunch of pussies.

This is more disturbing.
