The kid who got kicked out of school for chewing a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun had some temporary company in the PC suspension room:

The “liked” photo was of an airsoft gun:
Seventh grader Zachary Bowlin received a 10-day suspension from Edgewood Middle School after he liked a photo of an airsoft gun on Instagram. The caption of the photo simply said, “Ready.”
“I don’t think I did anything wrong,” Zachary said. “[The] next morning, they called me down and, like, patted me down and checked me for weapons. Then, they told me I was getting expelled or suspended or whatever.”
The note the school sent home to Zachary’s parents said that the official cause of his suspension was “liking a post on social media that indicated potential school violence.”
The student’s suspension reportedly didn’t last long after the parents spoke with school administrators:

10 day suspension. I really don't care if they eventually backed down, that school needs new administrators. https://t.co/e5hPpkwEyw

Unbelievable.
I guess that was before common sense, respect for guns and other lives stopped being taught.

This is #insane
The radical #liberal mentality is beyond comprehension. The parents should have been called first. Poor judgement.— ??Edward Grudi ?? (@Grudi61) May 8, 2017
