Sanity is in short supply these days.
Via CNS News:
The things that can get you suspended at school are reaching absurd levels, especially with so-called “zero tolerance” policies. Now, it seems they’re punishing kids even for doing the right thing.
In Chicago, a sixth-grade student was interrogated, intimidated, and eventually suspended for turning in a non-firing toy gun he accidentally left in his pocket. The Rutherford Institute has now come to his legal defense.
According to the Rutherford Institute:
Caden Cook, a sixth grader at Fredrick Funston Elementary School, was suspended for allegedly violating the school’s weapons policy against dangerous objects, in addition to being ordered to undergo counseling, and subjected to intimidation tactics, interrogation, and dire threats by school officials-all without his mother being present. Rutherford Institute attorneys have asked that the suspension be rescinded and all references to the incident be removed from Caden’s permanent school record.
