Not exactly. A week or so ago was a story out of Florida where a kid recieved a "Class 4 Suspension", the same as if he had used a gun or knife. His weapon of choice? A rubberband.

As the story went, he had a rubberband around his wrist, and the teacher told him to bring it up to his/her desk. Kid must've been popping it or something, I'd guess. The next part is in debate. The kid said he tossed it up to the teacher. The teacher said he shot it up/at him/her, which could've put his/her eye out, resulting in a "Class 4 Suspension" for using a weapon, in that school system, the same as if had used a gun or a knife. In my opinion, if he did shoot it up at the teacher, the teacher could've and should've belted him out of the chair, but my opinion isn't the law.

Then there was the little kindergarten kid a few months back that was suspended for "drawing" a gun on a piece of paper, then pointing it at other kids.

I'm kind've thinking that neither of those were based upon any federal laws or statutes. This kid here? Brought a pellet gun to school? Not a very smart thing to do. Is going to pay the price for that one, regardless. More parents should home school anyway, if they can get by with it.
