Well it appears as if schools now suspends kids for just being kids. 7-year-old Patrick Riley was suspended for being in possession of a handgun at school, and when I say handgun, I mean the imaginary gun that kids make with their hands when they are playing cops n robbers or some shit. Patrick had made such gestures in school before and was sent home for the rest of the day but was told that if he did it again, the punishment would be more severe. First, I don’t know how many 7-year-olds really know what the hell “severe” means but anyhow, in a school assembly, Patrick and a friend made the hand gestures and pretended to shoot at a wall……….he was suspended. If Patrick learned nothing else, he learned two new words, “severe” and “ridiculous”.
“Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – Patrick Riley, a 7-year-old first grader, was was suspended from school after he was reportedly found to be in possession of a hand gun…. and by hand gun, we mean his hand, with his finger pointed “like” a gun.
According Oklahoma City authorities, a student at Parkview Elementary School made a gun gesture with his fingers and pretended to shoot it at the wall with a classmate while attending a school assembly.
Investigators say the school principal asked the child to go home for the remainder of the day, and told him if he ever did it again his punishment would be more severe.
“Him (Riley) and a little girl were just getting bored at an assembly and doing some target practice at the wall,” Fox said.
Fox said she met with the school principal on Tuesday. She said they decided to “agree to disagree” on the matter.
Midwest City-Del City School District officials state that the boy has a history of making this gesture. The child’s mother believes that the school has overreacted.
The story comes on the heels of another incident at an Oklahoma City school where a teacher had a student arrested for having possession of a magic marker.”
