A seventh grade student faces expulsion from his school because he was playing with an air pistol — in his own yard.
Madness: A seventh grade student faces expulsion from his school because he was playing with an air pistol — in his own yard.
Khalid Caraballo, 12, and his friend, Aidan, were suspended for “possession, handling and use of a firearm” because they “shot two other friends who were with them while playing” with the airsoft guns, WAVY-TV reported. Caraballo answered “no, sir,” when asked if he took the toy gun to the bus stop or to school. “We were in our yard. This had nothing to do with school,” the student said.
So, government schools now have the right to tell students what they can and cannot do, wherever they are?
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

“Has zero tolerance gone too far?”
It looks like it has gone into negative tolerance.
Wait until they start to have dreams in which they shoot each other with airsoft guns. Or use butter knives to spread peanut butter on their bread at home. Do kids even get to use saws in woodshop class anymore?
Airsoft guns aren’t firearms. The school has no legal basis for action.
It all started because some idiot neighbor called 911 to explain that the kids were playing with toy guns and she didn’t think it was right.
Its people like this that scare me even more than any big government.
They create those big governments.
