Next Thing You Know, They'll Be Installing Rubber Detectors At School Entrances

A seventh-grade student in Florida is facing expulsion after brandishing what school officials deem a "weapon"--a rubber band. Robert Gomez found the rubber band and slipped it on his wrist. When his teacher asked him to hand it over, Gomez tossed it on her desk. That terrorizing incident earned the boy a ten-day suspension for "threatening his teacher." School officials say that Gomez is fortunate the object wasn't a paper clip or he might have received the death sentence. Source

I'm biased because I have a elastic-band-phobia, but this is weird. Demanding the student to hand over the rubber band is okay, but expulsion for only tossing it is rather extreme. Wonder if they're going to sue...

No wonder test scores for kids are slipping with each passing year. We have boneheads running the school districts and classrooms.groovebunny
