OMG! Even if the kid was forming a gun with his food, so what....How stupid can it get....so what...This kid probably thinks that teacher or whoever punished him is nuts....Let these teachers carry guns already and stop picking on these kids for stupid stuff. Were they afraid he was going to shoot a carrot from it. I don't blame the parent for being upset. I think the schools need to do constructive things to protect themselves and students, not do stupid things like this.

Don't talk till you know both sides! Do you know the past issues with this family or kid? No! You are just a person who likes to bring more chaos to a situation. The school can't talk because if they do it is breaching the confidentiality laws of a minor. So all you are hearing is the Father's side who obviously has the "I think my kid is perfect syndrome," or better yet, let's blame it on ADHD! I have 2 kids with ADHD and they don't act like a bunch of wild children. This just shows what a stupid society we live in! If the guy thinks the school is so horrible then homeschool your kid since you are better than the teachers!

Jewel, you are definitely in high-standing member of the Idiocracy. If you really think that a little boy, eating around a pop tart to form a gun. is "acting like a wild child", or how a comment by another reader is "bringing more chaos to a situation", then I can see just how your defective DNA contributed to your kids' ADHD. Please do not continue to procreate.

Moses, does it upset you that I am not as undeducated as you, and I do my research before jumping to conclusions and believing everything I read. Reading is fundamental! Maybe you should check the rap sheet of the Father before jumping to conclusions. The Idiocracy is the people that all jump on a bandwagon and want to be similar, without educating themselves on what is true. I, in turn, don't need to follow the Idiot Bandwagon. You are quick to call my children flawed, so aren't you just as bad as the educators that you are chastising? So are you chastising the child in the story for being ADHD? So he is flawed as well in your eyes? I haven't seen any proof of why the child was suspended, have you? There is always documentation when a child is disciplined, and even a court of law wouldn't just go off of someone's word. So go educate yourself on this family, on the food program of the Anne Arundel County Schools, and on why the kid was truly suspended, and then tell me what IDIOCRACY truly looks like.

Suspending a child for eating food so that it looks like a gun, or even pointing fingers to look like a gun is ridiculous. This is more twisted liberal minded thinking. My seven year old will be able to hit a bulls eye with a .22, so if need be when the time come to defend from harm or a tyrannical government, it can be done so effectively. Thank you 2nd amendment! The rest of the liberal idiots can lick the boots of their oppressors, but not over here.

This is what happens when liberals & PC take over.

Honestly Jewel it upsets me that you cannot spell "uneducated"! Get a grip!!

I think it's funny that everyone is ripping on Jewel because she has an opinion. I will tell you this that I know the entire story. If you all really think that a kid was suspended for just making a so called poptart gun, and you believe everything you read or hear shows how programmed our society has become. Thank God that a few of us aren't robots! I will say this...I am very disappointed in the Board of Ed for not coming out with the truth and standing up for the Staff in this school, knowing there is more to the story. Confidentiality shouldn't be an issue since the Father wanted to publicize his side of the story to the entire world. He could care less about confidentiality or about the safety of any of the other children in the school. All he cared about was hearing what he wanted to hear, not looking at the entire weeks worth of issues, and ran with it to the press, threw a tantrum like a 2 year old, and got the attention he needed. So go on and call me all the names you want, slam me, even correct me on words I may have mistyped, but atleast I am free from anger and a belief system that is extremely inaccurate.

You haven't revealed any additional facts about the incident that could persuade anyone on this forum to change their opinion. You say you know the entire story and you reveal nothing of import, nothing we haven’t heard before. You haven't put forth a convincing argument or anything that could be construed as an argument. Fish or cut bait windbag.

Insult me if you must. If it makes you feel better that's great! I do know the entire situation and I know that this child was given several referrals for disruptive and violent behavior (physical violence) against other children which had been going on for several weeks. One of the victims on several occasions was my nephew. He didn't just sit in a cafeteria and use a pastry and say bang, bang. He became violent after the pastry incident towards other children and when corrected became disruptive and disrespectful to the teacher asking him to settle down. This coming from students that were present in the classroom not from the adults. Several children were questioned about the disruption, and when it became apparent that the child's lack of respect towards his peers and adults was continuing after being disciplined several times prior and the child was not learning from his write ups, loss of recess, etc., the next resort was suspension. So there is my "windbag" statement. Since his return to school he has been back to his same disruptive ways, but the school suspends him again it will be made into another media fiasco courtesy of the Father that needed pity and 15 minutes of fame.

So do you think it's right that my nephew has to continue to be a victim of his violence because the Nation believes everything it hears or reads? This kid will be in the news later in life, but not for some made up pastry story.

Right on teacher from your fighting for peoples rights since the hippy generation liberal its tons of irraticals they hate correct diciplines like this that made our youths have no respects for anybodys nor anythings nor teacher adults law and governments and parents like that raise millatants like nationalist double standard irraticals and condone and cover ups for socail paths i am police security adoptee raised with 10 delinkwents and foster kids we need more peoples like you to make our youths and soceity betters and stronger when our systems and soceity over looks and have flaws and our youth become scapegoats for jails prisons and mental instatutions and reform schools because they werent firmly told write with irratical parents and soceitys ofanythings goes and this is one normal christian liberal who says good job teacher stand ups stick at its and let no ones put you downs and thank you for standing by our youths the right ways and instilling strong values so they dont become a trillion more statistics of violence in our soceity and systems lost possibly youve saved this child someday god knows the father isnt he is raiseing a disabled son like a millatant thank god for peoplws like you who care and the law judges and convicts and mentally helps our handicapped who make mistakes now days and preyfully this boy wont become another statistic lost in the systems of another throw away because of you

And no its not right nor fair that your nephew is a victim of this nor that he should continue to be and yes the child could later become a bigger threat to himself and soceity later he already has a dissability and behavior problems and hopefully good strong valued peoples rare and few like yourself are giveings him a good solid start better in soceity to help him in his journey thru life when so many dont get its unfourtanatwllys at homes thank you teacher for we love and respect peoples like you and desperatellys need more like you in a hay wire degennerate soceity of irraticals in peoples and systems and familys of dysfunctionals by the tons getting worse rapidllys all overs the world every days

God bless you teacher and school and thank you for being strong enough with strong good values and strenths for our youths to admit what really happened and stick to your convictions for this child its because of the great and the few like you are youths are taughts correctlys by the right sources and convictions so they dont become in bigger messes in soceity more detramentals then a gun shaped pastry or poptart thank god for you and others who care and nip things in the buds before they become greater massive issues later and burden the youths and soceity immensellys mores later in life
