Student suspended for knife at school

Willing to bet that it has more to do with those voted into a position of power over the adults in charge of his education.

Willing to bet it has more to do with the dipshit at the school that turned it into an issue instead of just taking the fuckin' knife and calling it a day.

School locked down after receptionist misinterprets "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" song as threat

A mistaken interpretation of a student's voicemail greeting triggered a lockdown of several schools in a western Pennsylvania county, and led to the student's arrest on Thursday.

The prerecorded greeting was the student's imitation of part of the rap theme song from the "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," a 1990s sitcom starring a young Will Smith.

A receptionist for a local eye doctor listened to the message when she called 19-year-old Travis Clawson to confirm an appointment, reports Fox News. At one point, the receptionist thought she heard Clawson say, "shooting people outside of the school."

The actual words to the song are: "And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school."

Worried that Clawson was up to no good, the unnamed receptionist called 911. A throng of local police responded quickly. Schools throughout Beaver County were locked down for about 20 minutes, the Beaver County Times reports.

Officers located Clawson in the guidance counselor's office of Ambridge Area High School. He was taken into custody. However, the teen was released after he clarified the words of the song and the voicemail greeting.

High School Student Disarms Gunman, Gets Suspended.

A Florida high school student wrestled a loaded gun away from another teen on the bus ride home this week and was slapped with a suspension in return.

The 16-year-old Cypress Lake High student in Fort Myers, Fla. told WFTX-TV there was 'no doubt' he saved a life after grappling for the loaded .22 caliber revolver being aimed point-blank at another student on Tuesday.

"I think he was really going to shoot him right then and there," said the suspended student, not identified by WFTX because of safety concerns. "Not taking no pity."

The student said the suspect, a football player, threatened to shoot a teammate because he had been arguing with his friend.

Authorities confirmed to WFTX the weapon was indeed loaded, and the arrest report stated the suspect, identified by WVZN-TV as Quadryle Davis, was 'pointing the gun directly' at the other student and 'threatening to shoot him.'

That's when, the teen told the station, he and two others tackled the suspect and wrestled the gun away. The next day, all three were suspended.

"How they going to suspend me for doing the right thing?" he asked.

The school's referral slip said he was given an 'emergency suspension' for being involved in an 'incident' with a weapon. Lee County School District spokesman Alberto Rodriguez said in a statement that 'if there is a potentially dangerous situation, Florida law allows the principal to suspend a student immediately pending a hearing.'

This is the message we're sending to not only our young people - but pretty much everyone across the country. Not only do a very, very, selfless and brave thing and then to be punished. But the administration act without having any of the facts.


This country is fucked.

Student suspended for shaping Pop-Tart into gun

7-year-old Josh Welch was eating a Pop-Tart at school. A teacher saw the pastry and said she thought it looked like it was being shaped into a gun.

The teacher also said she heard Welch say, "Bang Bang" while he was holding it.

That was enough to get him suspended.

Welch said his teacher got it completely wrong, "It was already a rectangle and I just kept on biting it and tore off the top, and it kind of looked like a gun but it wasn't."

Welch said he was trying to shape the Pop-Tart into a mountain.

The school sent out a letter late in the day to parents explaining what happened and why they thought it was a threat saying, "A student used food to make an inappropriate gesture."

Welch was suspended for two days.
