I guess “Cowboys and Indians” is now out the window for kids. I really don’t know what to think about this kind of thing anymore. Are we going too far now, or is this the direction we need to go with kids today?

How sick we have become where a little boy can’t even play cowboys and indians anymore and pretend his index finger is a gun with no malice in his heart, but we excuse a “terrorist” who actually kills people and call it “a workplace incident”.
And we will become a whole lot sicker before it is over with……soon Christians will be called terrorist….it’s on its way as we speak.
How said but I’m afraid you are right.
Christians were and are the original terrorist killing more people in religious wars than any other form of violence.
I would say that Hitler ran them a pretty good race since he tried, and almost succeeded in, annihilating all the Jews. Stalin succeeded quite well also.
Research shos that the atheistsd have killed more people thasn anyone else. Guess you are wrong about the Christians huh?
What research? Show me! Hitler was a devout Christian and Mohammad a devout Islamic Christian with his 1500 year war that is still ongoing and the Catholics 2000 year war that is still on going. Atheists have killed no one.
Jimmy – You are wrong. Athiesm has killed more people by far than any other belief system. In the 20th century more Christians have been martyred than all other centuries combined.
Research Jimmy. The atheists are considered Hitler, staslin, Mussolini, etc., whether you like it or not. The research makes it plain that Hitler was not a christian. Deal with it.
So how many people were killed in religious wars (aka Crusades)?”
He’s wrong anyway. The atheists killed more people – Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, etc.)
jimmy -
What in the world are you smoking? Adolf Hitler was not a devout Christian nor a devout Catholic….. He was however, just as insane as the muslims in believing they can conquer the world… If you are so smart, please give us a sentence or paragraph of what a devout Christian is…
Hitler used christianity asnd other faiths for his own purposes asnd, technically, bastasrdized religion because it made him seem like a Messiah. Read his biography. Hitler was a megalomaniac and saw himself as ruler of the world. Sound like someone more recent? To him Christianity was simply a tool.
CHRISTANS ARE NOT TERRORIST UNLESS WE HAVE A GUN OR SOMETHING LIKE A GUN LIKA A BROOM STICK, BUT WE ARE RACEST BECAUSE WE ARE AGAINST HOMOSEXUALTY AND ABORTIONS.
That is not racism. Speak for yourself. The only thing I zagree with you on is I m against abortions. Christians are also taught tolerance. What happened to yours?
Christians are not racists. We are taught tolerance for others. The only thing you said that I agree with is I am against abortion.
This is as stupid as the NFL’s 15-yd penalty for drawing your index finger across your throat, and not at anyone in particular. AND, and ad next to where I’m typing has a blond with her forefinger pointed at her forehead. Is this to be construed as an attempted suicide?? These friggin’ lefties need to get a life!!!
It is ridiculous, isn’t it?
Just another Victory for Ovomit….just wait, many more just like this to come. Hope all the people that voted for him see’s what comes around, goes around. They won’t like it when it’s one of thier kids.
Liberals gone wild. We should re-open Creedmoor Psychiatric Hospital and stick all the libs in it. I can’t take it anymore.
Krauthammer, I love it! Or, send them to Benghazi to the burned out building where 4 men were murdered.
Is there anything like a real PTA left in America?
When I went to school and when my kids went to school the PTA had sway and the school board listened up if they wanted to keep their seats, they did what was best for the kids and the country did pretty well by the kids. Since this NEA and the TU has been around we have seen a down hill education cycle and the kids are smart/dumb full of self esteem and PC BS, the illegals get more than the natural born citizens for assistance and the administation has gone off the trolley with self rightgeous indignation and know-it-all garbage from academic nonsense. The moral compass is twisted and morons make decisions that mean something to them, WTP are wasting money, time and effort on a failing experiment of ignorance and we need to get back to the three R’s and some non revised book learning..
It is interesting to me, I workedf at the local CEA office in Columbus, Ohio, which is affiliated with the OEA asndf the NEA. At that time, NEA was not considered a unin. the FTAQ was considered the union and NEA, OEA and CEA were non-profit associastions. How it has changed over the years Now, NEA is considered a union..

The NEA’s Anti-American Agenda Threatens Our Nation

Now many of you out there are making light of this offense ,however, I will get back to you as soon as I complete my research on exactly how many innocence have lost their lives to a finger pointing ,with an accompanying “pow”. I reiterate this cannot be taken lightly , and the utterance of “pow” really increases the danger. I am a little uneasy that as I get more into my research that the blood and gore may be too much for me , but I’ll just have to bite a bullet ( oh I’m not sure I can say that ) Well I can probably get away with it here ,but would not dare say bullet in some of our schools. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE NITWITS…. I played cowboys with my little toy guns for hours on end ( of course I never pointed them at anyone I didn’t want to shoot ) Whether by luck or accident ,we never had a toy gun shot fatality. Are all of our educators, congress, Hollywood nitwits and following a Politically Correct script without an original thought in their collective heads. It is like “Polly wants a Cracker” parroting any and every nonsensical idea or non- issue that comes along.
Since we have many incidences of wearing a flag decal or drawing a picture of our flag is forbidden because it could offend some people in our school and our own president does not salute our flag, and since the Pledge of Allegiance is considered inappropriate in many schools, is anyone surpirsed you can’t pretend your finger is a gun when you are 6 years old and “get away with it”? But, on the other hand, it is all right for the president to form an army of youths (much like Hitler’s.)

I have heard that there have been reports of water pistol pistol whippings by a second grader over a stolen cookie…
The sickness began when this country handed over the reins, (or should I say reigns) to a complete bunch of liberal fools and when we gave credence to moronic groups such as the ACLU instead of ignoring them as should have been the case. We the people have created this monster of stupidity and it will be with us until it devours every ounce of sanity.
Actual dart gun assault countered by nurf gun attack… this violence is getting out of hand and we need a ban on all kid toys.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7otwURaVk4
You are kidding aren’t you? You can’t ban all kids’ toys.
LOL….*s* You can’t ban all guns either…but they may try!!!
I think there is a slight difference between guns and kids’ toys.
Graphic nerf gun suicide not for the timid… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrmhOSE99Y0
The Mother made a comment about the punishment fitting the crime. WHAT CRIME? Are we living in the Twilight Zone?
This is madness. A 6 year old? Maybe they should have locked him up for another 6 years to get their over kill agenda across. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
I remember one school that suspended a first grader for kissing another first grade girl in the school yard while they were handing out condoms at the other end of the school.
“It’ is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society”.
He is already being punished by our dummed down school system. Poor little guy.
I really don’t like sounding like an angel of doom but this country is lost already when a non american christian hating gay loving baby killing thing like osluma win the white house 2 terms…The people of this once great nation has forgotten there first love…Jesus have mercy on your followers and let there be justice against the evil that has overcome the world….. Many are Called but FEW ARE CHOSEN …. Make your life right with Christ for he is coming back sooner than most people think..
We have become a very sick nation by not allowing kids to be kids, little boys to BE boys, little boys who grow up to be real men ! It’s all part of a plan that was put in place many years ago and we are going to pay a very high price for now stopping this insanity then. God help us all. There IS a God you know !
I couldn’t agree more if I tried.
I just Thank God everyday I grew up when I did because the old term in those days was.
Boys will be boys and girls will be girls and there wasn’t a problem with it.
Boys will be girls and girls will be boys? HOw does it go today?
Youmake no sense.
What if the child was just pointing at something to show where it is, or telling someone “It is this way” and pointing in that direction?
If this young boy has had nothing that should indicate he has real problems at home or with himself, no threatening instances in school before, they could have handled the whole damned incident very differently. If he hasn’t, then I as a parent would have been the one to come unglued on the person who asked him what type of video movies he has at home! IT IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS to know what I have in my home. Iwant the parents to just for general purposes to ask that idjit what movies she has at home, what type books, what she watches on tv at home, what radio stations she listens to, what type of movies she rents, go sees, what type of people does she hang out with, and most of all, is she a flippin’ PC liberal!
This is beyond horrible and should have never been done to this boy not at all.
I taught boys at this age and listening is not their strong suit but to do this is so far out of line that I can’t find the line and that is a fact.
I work with kids and have an Early Childhood Development B.A.. I teach Sunday school and the majority of my students are boys. During free play, every single boy in my classroom uses the lock-together plastic building toys to make a gun. My Aids are teenagers and asked me if it was appropriate to let them build guns. I told them boys will make guns, and girls will make a family with their toys. This is the way boys and girls are wired. It is their nature and I do not resist how God has made us.
I simply talk to the boys about only shooting play bad guys, but they already know this and they know it is only play. Give a boy a stick and he will pretend it is a gun. Boys were made to protect and girls were made to nurture. Let us all be who God made us to be, or we are going to end up very confused.
There’s not much space left and it’s so far down no one will read my comments but I have to get it off my chest. The people in that MD school should be fired and all school higher-ups ought to use their brains for thinking things out–not using their brains?? for figuring out how to promote the unions and for bettering themselves. It’s a darn shame if a 6 year old can’t make a harmless gesture with his bare hands, this world is getting more and more ridiculous every day. And I blame a lot of it on the Administration and some of the liberals in Congress and other stupid people.
We don’t need to be promotign unions. People can negotiater for themsleves now and the unions are only thugs, and extremely greedy. Their usefulness is past. the uninos support thr OWS.
Take your kids out of public school before it’s too late!
I hate that it’s come to the point that parents, if they are able, should be either homeschooling their kids, or in a private school where they are not so liberally PC and liberally educated. I understand no bullying, but these type incidents and the way they handle it goes beyond the pale. – They are teaching them things that they should never have a right to do, unless it is with a parents consent. Instead, they are trying to replace a parent and teach them whatever the h&ll they want, whether any parent likes it or not. Things beyond the basics, or even the arts, music, home-ec, etc. They are shoving what many parents consider immoral, against their moral or religious beliefs, and there needs to be a STOP put to it NOW. They are more and more becoming control freaks and not teachers in too many places.
Let have the kids teach the teachers. Teachers are more dumb than the kids. Slowly the Govt is taking our kids away from GOD and the parents.
I believe there is a mathematical formula that can be used to describe the amount of common sense most present day “educators” possess. The amount of common sense they actually have and exhibit is actually inversely proportional to the number of advanced degrees they have: a BA might come in at 80%; a MA at 50%; a Phd about 20%; and an EdD about 0%.
These are not teachers, they are nazis! We all, including myself and my girlfriends all played cowboys and indians, or good and bad guys. Children are developing rights and wrongs for many of their young years without someone like this principal telling them they are bad and evil! She is, not he. Public education is now just public indoctrination. Thank God for homeschooling (and aren’t they fighting that?), private schools, and charter schools. Public teacher unions are just plain unhappy because they are part of the takeover America system and we are not going to play their rules, but ours. I taught both private and public schools and I mean I taught! I didn’t play stupid with my students (grade school, high school and college freshmen), I treated them as human beings in development. Apparently, teachers and principals today did not have proper development and they are exhibiting that everyday now. Take the feds and unions away, and let real teachers teach and let parents be the moral teachers for their children, and get the family to church every week is an essential part of any child’s development. P.S. We also played with toy guns and/or hands on church property and never got chased away then. Who knows now!
The schools and teachers are becoming the Brown Shirts for the Nazi’s in the Government.
This country is turning into a bunch of absurd, anal, soccer-moms!
Really? How rude!
Move to Texas.
