U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday A Portsmouth second grader is facing expulsion after bringing two toy guns to class. 7-year-old Josiah Green was suspended for ten days in May after he was caught with a water gun and a Nerf gun. Both don’t look anything like a real gun. Once his suspension was up, the school told his mother he is now facing expulsion. “It is frustrating right now,” said Josiah’s mom Audreyann Davis. “I was emotional and shocked. I understand that he’s suspended, but now you’re throwing that he could be expelled on the table.” |

I'm glad I got to grow up in a saner time. What can you say about this? It boggles the mind. Boys have been playing with water guns and Nerf guns forever-- they're children's toys, after all. Expulsion for a kid bringing a harmless kid's toy, appropriate for children, to school?
Is there any hope for us when the inmates run the asylum? |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
