Tawann Caskey, a Kansas City, MO first grader faces a ten-day suspension and being permanently branded in his record as a gun-toter. From the KMBC-TV story:
Suspended ten days for bringing a two-inch long plastic squirt gun to school.
A squirt gun.
A FREAKIN' SQUIRT GUN!
A TEN-DAY SUSPENSION FOR A FREAKIN' SQUIRT GUN!
Perhaps the administrators of the Kansas City School District are the ones who need to be held back in first grade for another year.
"We ask our principals for safety of students and staff, and we do follow the code of conduct and do not give exceptions to Class IV offenses. We take it very seriously," the school district's Phyllis Budesheim said.
(KMBC-TV reporter Natalie) Moultrie reported that the incident will stay on Tawann's school record. But (Tawann's mother Danielle) Womack said her son does not understand why he's not in school.
