re: School threatens to suspend my 10 year old son over "inappropriate" drawing.

When anc was in high school, there was this feminazi that started making a big deal about playing football. She was a big girl, not like the girls that play kicker. And this was nearly 30 years ago, so it wasn't common like it is today.

Anyway, she bitched and moaned and her single mom that was white trash bitched and moaned until she was allowed to come out in the spring.

We were told in no other terms that she was going to be put on the line, and if we let up there would be hell to pay. The first couple of guys that went up against her went soft and they were puking by the end of practice. The message was received and She quit in the middle of practice on day two.

Would not go over in today's public school.

I don't believe a 5th grader drew that picture.

His talent is certainly not in art. He plays drums and bass guitar in a small rock group and sings, too, even getting to play drums for Dalton Rappatoni, who finished in third place at American Idol earlier this year. However, that being said, we're proud of him and told him he had nothing to be ashamed of in regards to the picture he drew.

I dont even understand people in this thread complaining about the book just because it had a scene of gun violence. I remember reading books, from the school library mind you, about murder and other forms of violence. That's called shite that 10 year old boys are interested in.

Hell, I watched Platoon, Braveheart, Apocalypse Now, etc when I was 10 years old. Did I come out a psychopathic killer? No. Sure I got all liquored up, cut myself punching my bedroom mirror, and passed out looking at my ceiling while believing it was making helicopter rotor sounds, but that's incidental.

Your son appears to have a knack for drawing.
He ought to be praised for his talent.
There's a reason homeschooling is on the rise.

Remember there are worst books out there

I grew up in a time where zero tolerance policies were first being introduced, at least in our district. It was basically a way to make administration's job easy, so they didn't have to actually think and you know, do their jobs.

I got smacked in the face by a kid at lunch in middle school when we were outside playing football. I made a smart arse comment, nothing physical, got popped, and just walked away. Didn't fight back or anything. Get called into the principal's office because apparently a teachers aid saw it. Everyone out there, including the kid that smacked me had the same story. I was going to get in school suspension for getting hit because they had a zero tolerance policy on "fighting." My parents were both teachers in the district and knew the principal, my Dad went off on him and said I would be serving an at home suspension where I could do whatever the hell I wanted since the policy was a joke and the lazy arse principal couldn't be bothered to do a principal's job. I got a day off school, which was nice, but the policy of course stayed in place and from what I can tell they've only expanded their zero tolerance policies since then. I know, CSB.
