This is just getting ridiculous.
An eighth-grader was suspended this week after he turned in homework with a sketch that school officials said resembled a gun and posed a threat to his classmates. But parents of the 13-year-old, who attends Payne Junior High School in the Chandler Unified School District, said the drawing was a harmless doodle of a fake laser, and school officials overreacted.
Of course the Junior High officials did not allow the News to view the drawing. The parents said the drawing did not depict blood, injuries, bullets or any human targets. They said it was just a drawing that resembled a gun.
Somewhere we need to draw the line and stop overreacting. Our personal beliefs aside, should the school have met with the parents, figured out what was going on and then just let it be?
