High School student suspended for having a BB pistol locked in his car - off campus
Posted by stargeezer 10 years, 7 months ago to Government
So he didn't break a law or any school rule, but is suspended for causing a school disruption - which was caused by the school calling in the police. So who caused the disruption?
It's really time for these school principals to man-up and quit acting like a wimp over a BB gun or pastry eaten into the shape of a gun or (oh my) a sketch oh of a gun, or a tee shirt with a image of a gun. Don't they realize just how ridicules these acts make them sound to us in the real world?

According to Cyze, the school district has completed its investigation into the issue and the student faces no disciplinary action. Additionally, the time spent out of the classroom — one day — will not be considered a suspension or appear on the student’s permanent record.
When we asked Cyze if the outcome would have been different had the student’s car been parked on school grounds, he replied, “the student would have likely faced disciplinary actions as all weapons are banned from school property.”
Yeah, well no shit Sherlock...that's was the whole point all along you power hungry sob!
Oh wait. I've heard that same modus operandi somewhere else... hmmm...
You'd have a lot of kids with "weapons" in their cars and lockers, then. (but I bet they'd grow up to be better shots...)

How's 'bout chatting with Linda Tripp while you are at it. A tattle tale is a tattle tail.
Perhaps they need a law that states, "Anything that looks like a gun (including pop tarts) shall not be in any vehicle parked down the street within 20 miles of any school". It could be like a "No Drug Zone". What about a sling-shot? Aghhh......

Sharpened pencils, belts, straws, school/class rings*, hardback books, chairs... any number of things are "weapons". It's not weapons that are dangerous; it's people. Anything is a weapon, in malicious hands. Nothing is, in benign hands.
*my freshman and sophomore year were made painfully miserable by the time-honored tradition of "biffing". When upper classmen got their school/class rings, they would turn them around so the heavy decoration was toward their palm, then as they walked past lower classmen in the halls they would extend their arms and at least allow the ring to bounce off the back of the head of the lower classmen; if the lower classman was particularly unpopular, the "extension" evolved into a swat, raising welts. I was reminded of that era when G. Gordon Liddy explained "fighting rings" he learned about during his incarceration.
During this period I carried a pocket knife as a work tool. Until late in my senior year nobody even knew I carried a knife; so much for "weapons".
Too bad the right wing just own't spend the money.
Don't try blaming us for a problem caused by left-wing philosophy. It's the left who destroyed the traditional American family unit. It's the left who convinced 3 generations that honor means nothing, that "manhood" is a sexist invention, that "I want it" is justification for seeking the unearned.
My classmates were the first generation experiment in this destruction. Subsequent generations have even fewer members who even have a grasp of civilized behavior.
And the leftist solution is a typical blanket solution; take anything resembling a weapon away from anyone, and punish them equally (because Equality is god!), without regard to their demonstrated character or the actual nature of the "offense".
Control of the body, or control of the mind, by the collective, that's the only two options the left will even consider.

Through Political Correctness, Radical Feminism, casting all males as incipient rapists, and even toying with the language to require in written papers feminine pronouns as indefinite pronouns: the message is very clear and a lot of males have said, "Why bother?"

As I roved out to Western Lands to take the Western Air
I went into a Revel Hall and I saw a Twelfth Night there
but I was halted at the gate by a Privy Consellor
who told me I would have to check my Weapons at the door
As I, in my astonishment, stood hung on tenter-pegs
a Knight came in whose Prouess hung down between his legs
the Doorman grabbed a greatsword and he struck the Knight full sore
and gave him a reciept; he left his weapon at the door!
a Bard was next whose goodly Voice has entertained us all
but he, too, was prevented from entering the Hall
and told he could not carry deadly weapons on the floor
he left his Voice and Harp among the weapons at the door
a Master entered graciously, a man we all know well
who holds a 3rd Dan Black Belt, tho this he'd never tell
the Master struggled valiantly, the Master cursed and swore
but he left his hands, and feet, as weapons at the door
the company was jovial, altho a bit dismayed
for lack of proper cutlery, down to the smallest blade
for even teeth and fingernails, each can be used in War
were cut, and pulled, and left behind, as weapons at the door!
And has their King not loyal Knights that He must be afraid
of brawling in his Hall and of Assassin's bloody blade?
the Rights of Men to carry Arms at least WE'VE not foreswore
and a POX on them that made the Rule of Weapons at the Door!
Basically, schools have this "legal" right to full control of your children from the moment they leave home in the morning and until they walk into their homes in the afternoon. Thus a school currently has legal standing for anything that occurs in between those moments.
Not saying I agree...just stating how they view it. This is why they are beginning to exert control over what happens on the Internet...a smartphone communication is now used against students.
Even you picking them up is dubious because you could technically stop along the way home so your kid could finish some business with another kid. In that instance schools have suspension authority.
Look up "In Loco Parentis" and read the basic Wikipedia page. It means "In Place of a Parent." Do more research if you like.
Latin, in the place of a parent.] The legal doctrine under which an individual assumes parental rights, duties, and obligations without going through the formalities of legal Adoption.
By far the most common usage of in loco parentis relates to teachers and students. For hundreds of years, the English common-law concept shaped the rights and responsibilities of public school teachers: until the late nineteenth century, their legal authority over students was as broad as that of parents. Changes in U.S. education, concurrent with a broader reading by courts of the rights of students, began bringing the concept into disrepute by the 1960s. Cultural changes, however, brought a resurgence of the doctrine in the twenty-first century.
I pulled the above from the following link:

It has many legal decisions listed. State and Federal.
