BRAVE NEW SCHOOLS
Student disciplined for pen with gun company logo
Caught after borrowing offending writing instrument from father

A student has been threatened with a 3-day suspension from school for bringing to campus, and using, a pen with the corporate logo of the Glock company, a large stylized "G" with the letters "lock" inside.

Cooler heads eventually prevailed, and the father reports that he was successful in convincing the school officials to not only withdraw the threat, but also the formal reprimand that already had been placed in his son's educational file.

However, WND previously has reported on a student who was punished for advocating for gun rights, as well as yet another student who was punished for a sketch of a gun. And the newest incident raised concerns among bloggers and participants in web forums.

"Didn't (sic) Ford and GM build guns during WWII… Those products should not be around children, for there (sic) own safety. All teachers with a ford or GM car should have their illegal property crushed today…," wrote "jhud" on one forum. "Also the word springfield, and the numbers .22, .223, .32, .38, .40, .45, 5.56, 7.62, .50, .44 45-70, .450 etc and any math problem with the numbers involved. Also, we need to remove 9 and 10 mm from the rulers."

"Sounds like under this policy, any student or teacher with the last name of Winchester, Remington, and possibly even Smith (Smith & Wesson) would not even be allowed to attend or work at the school," added "Alacran."

The situation developed recently for a father who is choosing not to put his family through the media mill of publicity. However, he wrote about his case, and its resolution on the AR15.com website, which was founded in 1996 as a mailing list for firearms enthusiasts and grew into a location to collect, share and explore information.

The man, who is in law enforcement, said his son was at home doing homework when his ink pen died.

"He asked if I had one he could have. I reached into the pen holder on my desk and grabbed a pen and gave it to him. He continued his homework as usual," he said.

But the next day, his telephone rang.

The father checked his son's student handbook, and saw that "weapons, replica weapons, pictures of weapons, and weapon images on keychains or other items are forbidden," he said. But the pen had only the Glock name, not any image.

Why the hell are images and pictures of weapons banned? :mental:

Because we are in a society ran by liberals who have to filter anything that goes against their utopian beliefs.

Water guns were banned at a few daycares I worked at, this does not shock me. The liberals know what is best for your kid.  :whatever:

People don't kill people, guns kill people.  Oh, and big SUVs.  They kill people, too.  Next ban?

However, pictures, videos, drawings, characters, stories, and actual demonstrations of two faggots butt-****ing were not only allowed, but encouraged. Students who offered themselves as butt-****ing queer boy-toys would receive extra credit for each semester they participated in any ASSociated queer experimentations.

Playing with water guns is a normal kid thing. But leftism obviously thinks that will make kids grow up to be dangerous criminals.

More proof that America needs Attila the Hun, Vlad the Impaler, Suharto, or Park Chung-hee, so they can get rid moonbats and PC'ers. They were brutal, but they did a lot of good, they brought order, peace, and prosperity to the nations they ruled.

That reminds me of a joke with an Army general teaching boy scouts about proper gun control and a liberal reporter.
