Someone must really hate math!

Hi,

This story's out of LA--Louisiana, not CA! Apparently we DON'T have a lock on "stupid"--and I guess we file it under deadly things we never thought about, like cookies with bites out of them and such? Or maybe, with respect to Don Henley, it belongs in the "Get Over It!" file:

Wow! You might expect that reaction in an airport with TSA officials around, but in school? The cops even searched the kids house! Unbelievable! Hmmm lawsuit maybe!

The level of 'stupid' that is happening these days is scary!

"The student used extremely poor judgment in making the comment"

So, I guess that saying the square root sign looked like a gun was extremely poor judgement. I guess we're not even supposed to use the word "gun" anymore.

That ain't a gun. This is a gun. Or more accurately an M-1 Garand. Here's lookin' atcha kid. :wink: :lol:

Actually, "It's a 30 caliber clip fed gas operated semi automatic weapon".

Wrong. That is his RIFLE. Lower down is his gun. One is for fighting, the other for fun... :wink: :lol:

I better be careful putting bullet points in documents these days.

Putting a child under intense police scrutiny for saying a square root symbol looks like a firearm is taught to be protecting children but vetting aliens that cross our border is taught to be racist. I tend to question the value of such an "education" not to mention the purpose.

That's one of them push triggers instead of a pull trigger.

Nah, that's the grip safety. Kid's a 1911 fan.

Lord;
PLEASE save us from such stupidity and asinine idiocy on steroids !!

As each day passes my wife is SO HAPPY that she retired from teaching before the latest round of stupid set in.

I think it probably has to be made up... just because it is on the internet does not make it true... at least that's what I'm hoping for....

It's so stupid, one would think it has to be made up. But as I have said before, there is no shortage of stupid people. Some of them even like to prove just how stupid they are.

I found a a gun shaped Cheeto in a bag of Cheetos while at work last week.

Quickly ate it before anyone else saw it.

Man, that was close, since firearms are not allowed inside the building.

Did you contact the Cheeto company and tell them about the near disaster that you managed to prevent? They might give you some kind of reward.
