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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
