Insane: Student Faces Expulsion For Playing With Toy Gun At Home

Via Michael

In the wake of several high-profile shootings and a national debate regarding gun control, public schools have become notoriously hypersensitive about the possession of anything resembling a firearm on campus. While harsh rules are often enforced with abandon, children have at least been able to play with traditional toy guns while away from school property.

Unfortunately, school administrators now consider such harmless behavior at home to be sufficient basis for draconian punishment.

A 12-year-old in Virginia Beach, Va., recently learned how serious — and delusional – the response to playing in his front yard can be. He and a friend were playing with a pellet gun at his home one morning when the school bus arrived. Khalid Caraballo and his friend were promptly disciplined and both face suspension for the incident. Carabello could be kept out of school for the remainder of the school year as a result of his off-campus playtime.
