While I thought the schools couldn’t possibly get any crazier, today I read about a kid who got suspended from school merely for talking about guns:
OWINGS, MD — The father of a middle schooler in Calvert County, Md. says his 11-year-old son was suspended for 10 days for merely talking about guns on the bus ride home.
Bruce Henkelman of Huntingtown says his son, a sixth grader at Northern Middle School in Owings, was talking with friends about the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre when the bus driver hauled him back to school to be questioned by the principal, Darrel Prioleau.
“The principal told me that with what happened at Sandy Hook if you say the word ‘gun’ in my school you are going to get suspended for 10 days,” Henkelman said in an interview with WMAL.com.
How about using the word “firearm”? How about a report about someone being given the 21 gun salute? How about a welding gun? Or a caulking gun? And how about the signs proclaiming a “gun free school zone”? Surely they are violations too.
This ongoing hysteria-based nonsense has become so absurd it’s downright grotesque.
What I want to know is how they still get away with making taxpayers pay for it.
MORE: The above story was reported in the British Daily Mail, which also notes another one:
…this isn’t just a problem for young boys. Early this year, a five-year-old girl was waiting in the bus line talking with a friend about a Hello Kitty gun that spit out bubbles.
We cannot be too careful!
I think they ought to suspend all schoolchildren in Michigan who attend schools that display the Michigan flag.
No seriously!

Gun, ammo, bomb, gubmint – what other code words are to be banned, monitored, and filed away in everyone’s personal database at Ft. Meade: http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/declass/gulf_of_tonkin/sigint_reports/rel2_nsa_hq.shtml or at Langley: https://www.cia.gov/index.html?
How many little boys (code words here little boys see national data base for pedafile) will be expelled or sent back for re-education at the hands of some anal retentive cunt (cunt see data base for misogynist hate-filled right-wing wacko)?
It is now apparent why certain blogs have closed since the last election, like Jaded Haven and Dr. Sanity, and why internet postings have dwindled everywhere. Who wants to expose themselves to government intrusion, IRS audits, drone surveillance, phone monitoring, and worse.
By worse I mean much worse, like the paranoid imaginings of schizophrenia. Are there 10,000 military drones hidden away in Utah next to the giant Bluffdale data center: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/? Are the drones part of this: http://www.darpa.mil/? Why is DHS buying 450,000,000 forty caliber hollow point bullets: http://www.naturalnews.com/035649_DHS_ammunition_domestic_war.html?
We now live under a microscope with satellites overhead, phone calls tracked, our every move traced with GPS in our cars, our medical records collected, in short a consuming Hobbesian world in the making.
Hobbes envisioned a Leviathan state, but what we are headed for is more like this:
