THIS IS INSANE—OBVIOUSLY! But ask yourself this question: what is the ideology behind this? What is the ideology that treats a six-year-old as a criminal for cops and robbers with finger guns! Alabama 6-Year-Old Suspended for Using ‘Finger Guns’ During Cops and Robbers Game
“They labeled my six-year-old as a potentially violent and dangerous student because he was being a little boy and playing cops and robbers with another student (who was also suspended) and using his fingers like a gun,” Jarrod Belcher, the boy’s father, wrote in a statement released Friday, Sept. 8. . . .
The child, identified as J.B., was suspended and accused of committing a Class III infraction. This is the district’s most serious infraction. According to the Jefferson County School District’s Student Parent Handbook, Class III infractions include possession of guns or explosives, sexual battery, battery of a school district employee, and robbery, among others.
