Seventh-grade Student Talks About Gun, Gets Suspended

Appearently, a student can just say the word "gun" and be suspended because of it.

On April 15, ZeroIntelligence.net reported that A seventh-grade student has been baned from Pottstown Middle School in Pennsylvania because a teacher overheard the student say something about an AK-47 while having a conversation with other students. The teacher thought that the student said he is going to bring an AK-47 to school and bust a cap in everyone's butts. However, according to seven of the student's classmates, who were involved in the conversation, the student actually said, "If there were no rules, I could bring in an AK-47 for self-defense."

In addition to the suspension, the student has to be searched each morning upon coming to school and upon leaving from now on. Also, the student's parents agreed to make sure the student seeks counseling.
