in maryland two 6 year old boys were suspended from there school for making a gun gesture durring a game of cops and robers. school authorities say the two students were playing around when one student turned to the other student when they were playing and said im gonna shoot you or something to that effect. this sent the school into a panic and made the school administrators suspend the two. the students parrents are a little less than happy stateing the school is wrong and not correct in suspending the students because after all it was just a game. others may aruge that it could be a threat and a counsler stated 'children of that age do not have the capacity to understand why that might be a sensitive gesture that may scare people." it dosent appear that the boys will face any more disciplinary actions for the gesture but it dose leave manny wondering what  road were going down. of course with the recent shootings at sandhook and the navy yard in washington the nation is sortof  hyper vigilant when it comes to weapons in educational campuses. i remember a time when every one felt safe at school and you could  pretend shoot at your buddy while playing around with out so much as a glace from the teacher. now you do something like that and you wind up suspending expelled or in jail talking to a bunch of counslers. even talking to people who grew up in the 50's they remember when they used to bring shot guns to school and even the prinicipal had a shotgun in his car. now you do something like that and you get the FBI ATF and a task force of agencies investigating it not to mention "counsling" for trumitized teachers and students. America its time to ask our selves what road were going down and do we really want to go down the road of paranoia and hyper vigilance.
