The public school system in America is completely out of control and lacking any manner of common sense whatsoever.
This latest instance is an example of a school system that believes they have the right to punish a kid for what he does on his own home property.
The Virginia Beach City Public School System has suspended two seventh grade students, Khalid Caraballo and Aidan Clark, and recommend they be expelled for a year, for playing with an airsoft gun..... in Caraballo's front yard.
The two boys were waiting for the school bus, they did not bring to airsoft gun onto the bus or near it and did not bring the gun to school, but a nosy neighbor has called the police even though she confirms she knew the gun wasn't real:
A neighbor saw Khalid shooting the airsoft gun in his front yard. She told the dispatcher, “He is pointing the gun, and it looks like there’s a target in a tree in his front yard”.
WAVY.com located the 911 caller and spoke to her. She confirmed Khalid was taking target practice using a zombie hunter airsoft gun to kill the zombies. There was also a net behind the target to catch the plastic pellets.
The caller also knew the gun wasn’t real and said so, “This is not a real one, but it makes people uncomfortable. I know that it makes me (uncomfortable), as a mom, to see a boy pointing a gun,” she told the 911 dispatcher.
What exactly did any of that have to do with the school? Absolutely nothing.
