School administrators acting stupid
A five year old was suspended for pretending a stick was a gun.
A four year old brought a shell casing to school and was suspended. And Child Services was contacted. At least it wasn’t MA. The four year old would have gone to jail.
Tar and feathers.

They have to keep pushing the “stupid threshold”. It’s how the things they’re doing every day appear sane by comparison. This is the definition of “Progressivism”, and also the “Overton Window”.
It’s a tactic, it’s well known, widely taught (under various guises and terms), and it works like a charm. Don’t knock it. Expect more.

I recall Sister Mary John supervising the preparation, in fourth grade class, by fourth grade students, of crushed charcoal, sulfur powder, and granular KNO3, followed by the ignition in the front yard of the school of approximately 1 pound of that homemade black powder. That was around 1970.
If you want to move the Overton window, leftists, just remember that it can be moved in any desired direction by any interested group.
For another example of moving the Overton window in a direction leftists might not like, see the presidency of Donald J. Trump.

Maybe the teachers should be arrested for allowing 5-year olds to have access to “stick guns”.
After all if I left a gun laying around where a 5-year old could pick it up, they’d have my ass in a sling. So why shouldn’t the same standard apply to them and their “stick guns”.
Seems to me if said teacher uses the “But it’s only a stick” defense, then the kid should be allowed that defense as well.

They’re preparing students for high school and “institutions of higher learning” where “progressives” are even more regressive.
