I can totally relate to this story because when I was a young boy my dad gave me an empty shotgun shell to take to school for show and tell. The kids thought it was cool and the teachers didn’t think I was going to kill anyone.
I guess the difference is that it was 20 years ago and I went to a private school.
Taken from the story:
This week’s outrage comes to us from Winchendon, Massachusetts where, in yet another case of “zero-tolerance” enforcement defying common sense, fourth-grader Bradley Geslak was suspended from Toy Town Elementary School for bringing a Memorial Day souvenir to school.
When we let Common Sense have its place again?

They need to sue the school system, the teacher and the principal. At the very least. They need to make it such a huge demand for damages that it gets world wide attention, simply to prove a point. I hate lawsuits because they are a waste in most cases, but sometimes people need to be reminded that Common Sense is needed in this world.
