School suspends 5-year-old girl for ‘turning a stick into a gun’

Officials at a North Carolina school suspended a kindergarten student for playing with a “stick gun” on the playground.

Caitlin Miller, who is 5 years old, was playing a game of “King and Queen” with two of her classmates Friday at J.W. McLaughlin Elementary School in Raeford, North Carolina. The little girl was pretending to be a guard trying to keep out intruders from entering the kingdom where the king and queen were when she spotted a stick in the shape of a gun, picked it up, and imitated firing the “weapon,” WTVD-TV reported.

Pshhhhhhh!!! If that's a crime worth kicking a kid out of school for, they would've had to kick out my entire elementary school from kindergarten on up to the sixth grade! Especially a 5 year old???!!! That's called play. And guns are an American tradition, unfortunately... Why penalize the kids? They only imitate what they see...

Well if the other kids knew better then I'm not so sure about giving this kid a pass. I get it we did this in school. But the truth is these policies are not new, my kids had these agreements we all had to sign when they were in school and they are adults now, somehow they and all their classmates survived not doing it.

Both parties do this.
