Phurfur 70 Posted May 23, 2014 He looked up at the clouds and saw a handgun. A Colorado second grader was disciplined after he drew a picture of a handgun during an assignment where students look up to the clouds and draw what they see. Kody Smith, 8, went outside May 14, looked up to the sky and saw a big fluffy handgun, KKTV.com reported. When he showed the drawing to his teacher at Talbott Elementary in Widefield, which is southeast of Colorado Springs, he was reprimanded. The school reportedly filed a behavior report that said Smiths behavior was disruptive to the school. The school district told the station that the report will not remain on Smiths record and its response was in line with routine procedures focused on school safety. But the boys parents say he was wrongfully punished. "He was doing exactly what he was told to do for the assignment,' Angel Rivers, the boy's mom, told the station. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/05/23/colorado-boy-punished-for-drawing-handgun-during-assignment/?intcmp=latestnews Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 5,955 Posted May 23, 2014 Clearly there's nothing else to this story and we should all assume the school acted in appropriately because MK Ultra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is the path to gun control in the future and is a method of mind control. We should be teaching gun safety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BudBro 123 Posted May 23, 2014 The school district told the station that the report will not remain on Smiths record remember when this used to be a threat used on us regarding school? "Do you want that go on your permanent record?" wth does that even mean? so, the kid goes out to get a job in maryland at the dairy queen when he's 19...during the interview, the 20 yr old manager says "I'm sorry, but I looked up your permanent record and there was a day in 2nd grade you drew a cloud gun in Colorado. I'm going to have to give the $6 an hour job to Jake because his permanent record from grade school is clear." with common core, that doesn't mean anything anyway. the kid won't be able to make change from the $5 bill for the dq double cheeseburger. he'll just be able to describe the change as a couple papers and few circular looking, metal objects.

My brother is 10 years younger than me and didn't graduate high school that long ago. He took hunters safety in high school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thornton Melon 549 Posted May 24, 2014 If it had gone on his permanent record, would the record say that he drew a gun, or that he drew a gun? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BudBro 123 Posted May 27, 2014 If it had gone on his permanent record, would the record say that he drew a gun, or that he drew a gun? well done. surely it's the second one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank M 181 Posted May 27, 2014 There's a great lesson in this. When the school does something absurd, no matter how harmless, always alert the media. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
