Second Grader Written Up for 'Seeing' Gun in the Clouds

[jim49er]

An 8-year-old second grader at Talbott Elementary School in Colorado Springs, Colo., is in big trouble for using his imagination after he said a cloud looked like a gun.

His teacher filed a behavioral report against the boy after he drew a picture of a gun, after the teacher told him to look up at the clouds and draw what he saw, reports CBS affiliate KKTV.

“Draw a picture of what you see in the clouds from your imagination,” 8-year-old Kody Smith told the television station about what the teacher has said. "That picture is a gun," he continued, pointing to the gun he drew.

But his teacher, who has not been identified, was not happy with Kody's drawing, and took him to the office before and complained that he was exhibiting behavior disruptive to the school's entire learning community.

The teacher had disruptive behavioral problems--the child is perfectly normal.

Nipping future Thought Criminals in the bud, I see...

I wonder what would happen if somebody put up a picture of a gun on a billboard within sight of the school building.

Finger guns...
Paper guns...
Pop tart guns...
Cloud guns...

Government school is child abuse.

maybe that same cloud will send a lightning bolt on her, and jump start her brain....

And yet pointing out the obvious that this is training them to be paranoid and only answer in socially acceptable ways is considered tin foil hatter material.

Is cloud watching part of the Common Core curriculum?

[Working Poor]

Obviously a result of pot being legalized...

[tod evans]

Hopefully these students and their parents will grasp the seriousness of the schools policies and oust the offensive people....

[Ronin Truth]

Written up! OMG! :eek: The parents should just write up the teacher for being an idiot. :p

That is a pretty cool cloud to be honest.

WTF

[Antischism]

Some of these stories are so absurd they read like jokes. It's a picture of a gun. Yes, guns exist. Yes, kids know what they look like and will draw them, especially if there's a fucking cloud in the shape of one to fulfill an assignment. What an incompetent teacher.

BAN CLOUDS!
