A revolting (but true) story:
The Good
A ten year old boy goes to the Memorial Day celebration in his town with his family. After the 21 gun salute, a uniformed veteran gives the boy an empty rifle casing. The boy is so proud! He has family members that have served. The next day, he brings it to school to show it off.
The Bad
A teacher sees the empty rifle casing, seizes it, and the boy is immediately suspended. When I say immediately, I mean it. Mom had to leave work to come get him.
The Ugly
The ugly part of this is we have so-called adult school officials who can't tell the difference between an actual threat and a souvenir! This is unacceptable. What in the world is this country coming to??
I urge all my BC friends to email the superintendent of schools and tell her how ridiculous this is! Brooke Clenchy [email protected]
