Bill Would Withhold Federal Funds From Schools With Irrational, Alarmist Idiots In Charge

July 11, 2013 by Sam Rolley

There has been no shortage of knee-jerk idiocy on the part of American educators in the months since the tragedy at
Children have been kicked out of schools or disciplined for making gun gestures with their fingers, bringing water pistols or other toy guns to school, building Lego guns and even simply drawing pictures with guns in them.
Outside of the bureaucratically controlled brain trust that is the U.S. public education system, average Americans have rolled eyes and sighed at most of the aforementioned incidents. After all, it’s child’s play: cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians, soldiers.

Representative Steve Stockman (R-Texas) must also be tired of hearing about American educator pants wetting over plastic toys and hand gestures resembling firearms. He has introduced a bill that would protect the “harmless expressions of childhood play” and disallow educators to teach youngsters to “be afraid of inanimate objects that are shaped like guns.”

The Student Protection Act, H.R. 2625, lists several incidents where children have been victimized by zero-tolerance gun policies on school grounds which make even references to guns or gun-like things illicit./quote]

It's high time someone did this.
