Daily Stupid, Part I

EXPELLNG a 1st grader? Kicking her out of the school system ... forever?? ... for breaking a rule she probably can’t even understand? The parents in that town ought to be getting together their pitchforks and torches. Time to storm the castle Ivory Towers.

Sumter, SC (WLTX) - A kindergartner at Alice Drive Elementary in Sumter has been expelled from school for bringing a toy gun to class.

Naomi McKinney, who’s six-year-old, was expelled on January 7th.

The problem began when Naomi grabbed her brother’s toy gun to bring in for show and tell.

“I chose to bring it to school because I thought I could show my friends it because they might like seeing it,” Naomi explains.

Her dad, Hank, says he and her mother didn’t see what she choose to bring until getting a call from the school.

“The school needed me down there that my daughter was fixing to be expelled,” he says. “I got in the car and rushed down there and when I got in there the principal told me that she had a gun at school and she pulls it out and it is a little clear plastic gun.”

“You have to show some kind of judgment,” Hank McKinney says. “I know there is a lot going on with guns and schools and that is tragic but a six year old bringing a toy to school doesn’t know better.”

Instead of being in school, Naomi now is spending her time at her dad’s furniture store.

The Sumter County School District weapon policy says the presence of weapons or look-a-likes is not allowed, stating the board will expel any student who brings a weapon to school.

She will be assigned a home-based instructor from the school district. The Sumter School District says they take any potential threat very seriously and will remain vigilant in creating a safe and secure environment.

Woo hoo! Now the kid gets home schooled for free!! Golly, I bet the $40,000+ the school system pays that teacher sure makes it worth throwing an almost toddler out of school for bringing in a water pistol. “If we can save even one child from getting wet...” Let’s hope at least one kid per week brings in a toy gun ... in 2 months the school system can be completely bankrupt, belly up, and the parents in that town can then get together and hire some teachers with a lick of common sense.

What a bunch of rat turds. Brain dead cowardly button pushers. Fire them all, and start over.  Whoops, sorry. We’re not “comfortable” with the way you act towards our children, so out you all go, union and all. And the town contacts Teacher University right now to let them know they’re going to hire most of this year’s graduating class, and that they want teaching to be done in their specified classic manner, so throw out your BS jibber-jabber programs and adapt them now.

The only way to fix our educational system is for the parents to take a firm hand in it from the very beginning.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
