I agree the kid should be punished - that is unacceptable. But, should they not look at the reason he brought this to school, and the past dicipline issues with this kid? Could it be he was just taking it to school to show his friends they type of air soft gun he has, or to sell it to a buddy? Do all kids intend to cause harm? Are they guilty before proven so? What good are we doing this kid if he wasn't up to nefarious actions? If the kid drops out of High School because of this suspension, how will this help him become a positive and productive force for society? FOR A PELLET GUN?!?! We live in a crazy knee-jerk society that rewards idiots that sue because their coffe was HOT, but punishes children because they did not THINK.

I have four teenage boys, and let me tell you one thing - thinking things all the way through before taking action IS NOT one of their strong points!

Respectfully,
Dan
