Yet another student has been suspended for having something that represents a gun, but isn’t actually anything like a real gun.

When several first grade kids are expelled from school in the Peoples Republic of Maryland, for pointing their fingers and shouting ‘Bang’ while playing cops and robbers — what else can we expect.
(Good news was – They didn’t shout ‘Bang Bang’ or they might have been charged with having automatic weapons…)

Thought control. The student was suspended because of his “wrong thinking”, admitted by the school’s administration.

1984 anyone?
