7th-grader suspended for having gun keychain(size of a quarter)

[RugersGR8]

Must be another case of overly zealous school administrators doing their zero tolerance gun hysteria thing. Now, the principal and the superintendent will not even return the parents calls. OBTW, the student in question is in an advanced math class and the parents have also been informed that their son has been forbidden to go on an upcoming field trip.

..."Joseph Lyssikatos said the keychain was in his backpack at Alan Shawn Feinstein Middle School on Thursday when it fell out. A classmate picked it up and started showing it to other students.

A teacher confiscated it and before Joseph knew it, he was suspended."...

Agreed. Kid shouldn't have had it in his back pack in the first place. Guns or their likenesses aren't allowed in schools, end of story.

Wait, what about making the 7th grader responsible , why the parents?

Kids do stuff all the time without theyre parents permission....remember?

Now they should work towards repealing that stoopid law, the parents , That is theyre job.
