U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday A Portsmouth second grader is facing expulsion after bringing two toy guns to class. 7-year-old Josiah Green was suspended for ten days in May after he was caught with a water gun and a Nerf gun. Both don’t look anything like a real gun. Once his suspension was up, the school told his mother he is now facing expulsion. “It is frustrating right now,” said Josiah’s mom Audreyann Davis. “I was emotional and shocked. I understand that he’s suspended, but now you’re throwing that he could be expelled on the table.” |

I'm glad I got to grow up in a saner time. What can you say about this? It boggles the mind. Boys have been playing with water guns and Nerf guns forever-- they're children's toys, after all. Expulsion for a kid bringing a harmless kid's toy, appropriate for children, to school?
Is there any hope for us when the inmates run the asylum? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
