I can totally relate to [1] 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?
