First-grader suspended for turning in toy gun at school

Yet another example of zero tolerance idiocy directed at small children:

Quote:

Jennifer Mathabel told Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 reporter Marcie Cipriani that her son left his usual backpack in a friend’s car the night before, so he packed another one but missed the toy gun inside. “So I send my child to school, my child discovers a fake toy gun at about 1:30 p.m. He turns it in to the teacher and he's sent to the office and suspended,” said Mathabel.

Lesson for the day, kid: never bring yourself to the attention of the authorities as anything you say can and will be used against you.
