4-year-old suspended for bringing a shell casing to preschool daycare, goes viral on Facebook
« on: March 23, 2017, 10:11:42 pm »
COLLINSVILLE, IL (KTVI) – The Collinsville mom behind a viral Facebook post spoke to Fox 2/News 11 Wednesday.

Her son, Hunter, 4, has been suspended from his preschool for bringing a shell casing from a fired bullet to school.

He’d been at the preschool for about a year, she said, and now was in tears.

Neither she nor Hunter's dad knew it, but he found something he thought was pretty neat and he took it to school Tuesday to show his friends.

“This is a spent .22 caliber bullet casing,” Kristy Jackson said, holding the object that got Hunter into so much trouble.

“I was met with a stone-faced teacher who said that my son had a shotgun bullet.  I was horrified thinking, ‘where could he have gotten this?’” Jackson said, recalling when she picked up Hunter from the preschool in Troy, IL, Tuesday.

The 2nd last paragraph of the article is the kicker.

"Shell casing"? "Shot gun bullet" For the love of Mike are these people illiterate?

The school's vice-president e-mailed her that he was notifying the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS).  He confirmed that to Fox 2 but said since A Place 2 Grow was licensed by DCFS, DCFS needed to be notified.

Jackson said she was not sure if Hunter will return after the suspension.

That's the second to last article on the site.

Also, that site is terrible, I hate autoplay ads.

Yes. And they're teachers/writers.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

That's the scary part. Lingering in this child's computer file, and following him (and the parents) for the rest of his life will be a school suspension over a few grams of brass with powder residues on it. The teachers and administrators should be flogged for the damage done over an inert bit of metal they cannot even correctly describe.
And it's a "cartridge" casing, not a "bullet" casing. Sheesh!

How did these fricking idiots ever get this much control, and why do Americans let them keep it?
