A seven year old boy was busted the other day because of a drawing he gave a friend on the school bus.
Okay, I understand Zero Tolerance, but let's be real here. As a child, I could not begin to count how many times I drew a picture of a sick figure holding a gun shooting another stick figure. I took great care to making sure that the correct shade of red was used to simulate the color of blood pouring out of the figure I had shot. Guess what? I also had several different toy guns that actually pointed at my friends! Can you believe that!
Boys can't be boys any longer, which is sad. Cowboys and Indians, army men and gun fights. I guess my boyhood B.B. gun is a no-no now as well.
As for the parent that complained to the school, well... GET OVER IT! HE IS SEVEN! I doubt he will become a crazed killer when he grows up because he can draw stick figures that make sense! How did we, in this country, become so sensitive. Geez...
