How insane can things get....

..when a 4th grader gets suspended for 5 days for bringing in a shell casing from a Blank round (fired at a Memorial Day service)?
The casing is nothing more than a hollow metal tube. I mean, a sharpened pencil is much more dangerous that this casing is.
Based on the story, the school wasn't commenting on the subject only to say that the matter was "gun" related.
With that kind of asinine logic, they better stop teaching about ANY historical battles because they too are "gun" related.
This kind of thinking is a sad state of affairs regarding our "so called" educators, and the system that supports them. This whole event was blown completely out of proportion. What should have happened was the boy should have been told that he needs to keep his toys/prized possesions at home.
The school superintendent of the town of Winchendon(?) gets the "moron of the week" award.
