Boys punished for airsoft guns in yard

2013-09-25

[WAVY] Two seventh grade Virginia Beach students have learned their fates Tuesday morning after they were suspended for shooting airsoft gun.

During a hearing Tuesday morning, Aidan Clark and Khalid Caraballo were given long-term suspensions in a unanimous vote. The suspensions will last until June, but a hearing will be held in January to determine if they will be allowed back in school.

Their parents told WAVY News' Andy Fox their children were expelled, but when Fox looked at the official letter from the school, he found they were long-term suspensions and not expulsions. Their parents still feel as though they were expelled.

#6 You're addressing the consequences not the cause. It's the lawyers who've already sued when schools tried to discipline well back twenty years ago. The administrators simply came up with the zero tolerance because they wanted to reduce the cost and hassle of every parent and their lawyer, not to mention the power grabbing judiciary (just another member of the bar), running their schools. Rational judgement has gone out the window. Now its fun to be a fascist cause they can ignore being reasonable, it's no longer in the job description.

#5 Ha. Doing stuff we did as kids. It is a Family matter. The Fascist school must take them back and teach them.

I sure would like to expunge that school staff their jobs.

We need to purge the schools.

#4 Women. Most vocal supporters of fascism since .

Still at least now one of the children will receive an education.

#3 I saw where there is a law in Virginia that makes it a crime to use a firearm or air gun in a manner that makes someone (doesn't seem to matter who) afraid. School wouldn't seem to have jurisdiction, but the alternative might be charging the kids under that criminal statute.

#2 Clark was offered the option of attending an alternative school, but his father, Tim, told WAVY News' Andy Fox he will be homeschooled.

Parents who want to get their kids out of ~~Gulag~~ public school system, pay attention.

#1 Ask the Police the name of the second caller and sue them, if the police refuse sue the police, this nannyism has to stop.
