How much more ridiculous are things going to get?
"A 16-year-old Florida high school student says he was suspended for three days for wrestling a loaded revolver away from a teen threatening to shoot.
Fox4Now.com reports that the student, who declined to be identified for safety reasons, tackled the 15-year-old suspect on a school bus after he allegedly pointed the weapon at another student.
"I think he was really going to shoot him right then and there," said the student, who reportedly attends Cypress Lake High School in Fort Myers.
According to the referral the student received the following day, he was suspended for his role in an "incident" where a weapon was present and given an "emergency suspension," the station reported.
The boy's mother told Fox4Now.com her son was suspended because he refused to cooperate with the investigation, adding that he was scared.
School officials declined to a request for comment from Fox4Now.com due to privacy issues."

I read that yesterday. As a high school teacher and coach I could see that happening. It just makes me sick

Things are getting more and more absurd every day !! The craziest thing I have read about students is there is a couple different incidences where parents are suing the schools. They are suing because their child which was born as a boy but feels more comfortable wearing dresses and acting like a girl is not allowed to use the girls bathroom. The youngest one is 6 years old. Not sure if my response should be in the Off Topic Forum but I was just responding to your question.

You can write on the wall that if my stepson acted appropriately in a situation like this the princepal would never forget me coming up there and setting her straight.
Common sense is gone. The kid done good, no matter what the "leaders" in the school did to him. It would be great if all his teachers gave him perfect scores on the quizes and tests he missed while he was suspended. Make it more like a short vacation. I hope someone takes him fishing or hunting while he's suspended.

Yeah that's stupid, and needs some common sense applied to the situation;
Two things to think about: 1) it may be a policy that's forcing the hand of the school admin. 2) schools can never comment due to student confidentiality issues, so you generally only get to hear one side of the story.

Common sense and morality has been replaced with political correctness.

That was a very strange and depressing movie....
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.
