Six year old suspended for hand gesture

"officials at Jefferson Elementary School said the behavior made other students uncomfortable" Yeah, right. Were they shaking with fear at this boy's gun gesture? I'm glad I didn't go to Jefferson Elementary School or any school with rules like theirs.

A six-year-old Michigan boy was suspended for making a gun gesture with his hand.

That’s right, hoplophobia and Big Brother Nanny-ism has reached a new low in Michigan.

From Fox News:

Erin Jammer, said her son, Mason, was just playing around when he made the gesture Wednesday, the Grand Rapids Press reported.

"I do think it's harsh for a six-year-old. He's six and he just likes to play. Maybe what you could do is take his recess away. He's only six and he doesn't understand any of this," Erin Jammer said.

But officials at Jefferson Elementary School said the behavior made other students uncomfortable, and they suspended Mason for the remainder of the week, the paper reported.
