Kindergarten Weapons Violation


Expelled for bringing clear plastic toy gun to school:
Naomi McKinney, a kindergarten student, is such a threat that she’s not allowed at all on school grounds, her parents say. The Sumter County School District says it has a zero-tolerance policy against guns in schools, and would require the Board of Trustees to review the case if she's to return.
Massive media exposure followed... and then:
Expulsion reversed for kindergartner who brought toy gun to school for 'show and tell'
Cute kid. Photogenic. Maybe she's a holy terror, but it's not obvious on the outside. And it was a serious error to think this sort of expulsion was justified.

Rules are rules!
(And fools are fools.)
