8-year-old threatened with expulsion for drawings
Found on KPHO on Thursday, 07 November 2013
A couple pulled their sons out of Scottsdale Country Day School last week because they said the headmaster threatened to expel their 8-year-old for drawing "highly disturbing" pictures.
The three images in question depict a soldier, a ninja and a Star Wars character - possibilities for the 8-year-old's Halloween costume.
According to Scottsdale Country Day School's online student and parent handbook, "drawings that depict weapons" are grounds for expulsion.
Drawings only? Maybe the boy should come to school with some real guns instead. In some way it's hilarious: the gun nuts fight as hard as possible so that everybody can have guns, but as soon as you draw one, you get into troubles.
