Good Grief: Cops Charge 7-Year-Old for Bringing Toy Gun to Class

A friend of mine that's a generation older than me tells me of his time in public schools when he would bring his shotgun into class for show and tell on how to clean a gun. He and the bus driver would go hunting together here in the Rochester area. Those were the good 'ol days, and they are no more. Especially since liberals have taken over the public schools like a cancer. These days, you get arrested for bringing in a TOY gun to school. From NBC Philadelphia:

A WMB only to a moron

A 7-year-old child allegedly shot a Nerf-style toy gun in his Hammonton, N.J., school Jan. 18. No one was hurt, but the pint-size softshooter now faces misdemeanor criminal charges.

Hammonton Police began an investigation into the “suspicious activity” at the Hammonton Early Childhood Education Center Jan. 18 after school officials alerted them to the incident.

The "gun" the child brought to school was a $5 toy gun, similar to a Nerf gun, that shoots soft ping pong type balls, according to the school's superintendent.

Officials also say that there was no evidence of anyone being threatened. The child's mother told school officials that she didn't know her son brought the toy to school.

Dr. Dan Blachford, the Hammonton Board of Education superintendent, said the school has a zero tolerance policy.

"We are just very vigilant and we feel that if we draw a very strict line then we have much less worry about someone bringing in something dangerous," said Blachford.

Their zero-tolerance policy is to keep brains out of the public schools as that is the only thing that's actually banned. Meanwhile, here in the Detroit area, a school district allows Sikh students to wear 5-inch KNIFE to school, while American kids are suspended for bringing paring tool, making gun with their finger. Last March, news like this hit close to home: Michigan kindergartner suspended for making gun with hand. And more recently a couple of states over: Good Grief: First-Grader Suspended for Making Gun With Finger. The kid with the nerf gun should have simply claimed it was a religious item and he's from Asia, which are magic words for moonbats in public ed to let through whatever in the name of multiculturalism.
