With all the trouble in this Country we are worried about young children shooting imaginary bow and arrows , how ridicules, The schools could be doing so much more than this to help our children , but with all the simpletons talking about gun control I guess this is now the #1 crime :laugh:
A Pennsylvania fifth grader named Johnny Jones was suspended for shooting an imaginary bow and arrow at a fellow classmate who initiated the fight by “shooting” Jones with his folder. The 5th grader had faced expulsion, but was instead given a one-day suspension. This will remain on his permanent record unless the Rutherford Institute, whom Jones’s parents retained to represent their son, can convince school officials to remove it.
In a letter to the school Superintendent (https://www.rutherford.org/files_images/general/12-04-13_Johnny-Jones_Letter.pdf), Douglas McKusick with the Rutherford Institute summarized the incident:
As we understand the facts of Johnny’s case, during the week of October 14th, Johnny asked his teacher for a pencil during class. He walked to the front of the classroom to retrieve the pencil, and during his walk back to his seat, a classmate and friend of Johnny’s held his folder like an imaginary gun and “shot” at Johnny. Johnny playfully used his hands to draw the bowstrings on a completely imaginary “bow” and “shot” an arrow back at the friend. The two children laughed.
