The Failed Pacifist

Suspended for Sketching a Gun

A 13 year old student at Payne Junior High in Chandler, Arizona has been suspended from school for a crude sketch of a gun. Well, it sort of looks like a gun, I guess.

"We understand that there was zero tolerance and the sketch could look like a gun, but the way this was handled was so horribly wrong," Paula Mosteller said. "Hopefully, when my son goes back to school on Friday this will all be behind him. But a school accusing a child like this can have a huge effect on a child for the rest of his life."
