C'mon! I'm Sure His Finger Wasn't Loaded

The schools sure are getting more and more ridiculous when it comes to rules for play time. From The McCarville Report:

A 7-year old student at the Mid-Del School District's Parkview Elementary School was suspended last week from school for pointing a "finger gun" at a wall.

Yep, a kid got suspended for pointing his finger at a wall. Even if it was in the traditional shape of a "finger gun", I see absolutely no problem with the kid's actions. The school's actions, on the other hand, were ridiculous and over the top.

What's next? A law that says parents can't let their kids play cops and robbers at home?
