Reasonable restrictions on guns isn’t wrong.
Unreasonable restrictions on guns is:
SUFFOLK, Va. — Two Suffolk second graders have been suspended for making shooting noises while pointing pencils at each other.
Media outlets report the 7-year-old boys were suspended for two days for a violation of the Suffolk school system’s zero-tolerance policy on weapons. They were playing with one another in class Friday at Driver Elementary.
“When I asked him about it, he said, ‘Well I was being a Marine and the other guy was being a bad guy,’” said Paul Marshall, one of the boys’ fathers. “It’s as simple as that.”
Conflict is part of us; part of who we are. Teaching kids about the best ways to resolve conflict is fine.
This zero tolerance is a policy driven out of management fear.
