These people are teaching our kids.Baltimore, MD (KTNV) -- A student in Baltimore was suspended over breakfast.
7-year-old Josh Welch was eating a Pop-Tart at school. A teacher saw the pastry and said she thought it looked like it was being shaped into a gun.
The teacher also said she heard Welch say, "Bang Bang" while he was holding it.
That was enough to get him suspended.
Welch said his teacher got it completely wrong, "It was already a rectangle and I just kept on biting it and tore off the top, and it kind of looked like a gun but it wasn't."
Welch said he was trying to shape the Pop-Tart into a mountain.
The school sent out a letter late in the day to parents explaining what happened and why they thought it was a threat saying, "A student used food to make an inappropriate gesture."
Welch was suspended for two days.

Teachers are bad at their job.
Good I hope he learned his lesson even though the punishment is a bit harsh guns the topic is better off just not to be toyed with.
while growing up as a kid, guns were an indispensable part of my toy collection. heck we picked sticks and pretended they were guns in elementary school. None of those i played with turned out to be killers.
the point i am making is that, kids are kids, esp the 7 yr olds. let them play.
You do not seem to get the whole political correctness indoctrination thing; its methods or its goals.
Have we hit full retard in this increasingly wimpy country yet?
We are well on our way, but I fear that there is far more retardedness to come.
A 7-year-old boy is under investigation after a school official found a loaded gun in his backpack Thursday morning.
Wave Preparatory Elementary School, in Far Rockaway, Queens, was placed on lockdown, and school safety officials confiscated the .22 caliber handgun. The New York Post reports that the boy’s parents were notified and he was seen leaving the school with a female relative, and “smiled cheerfully as he went into the police van with her.”

Not all 7 year olds are into toy guns they at times do bring the heat.
Truth, as painful as it is.
A pop tart is going to magically transform into a gun?
Crazy stuff. My son and his mates make toy guns, swords, etc. out of whatever they can. Something is seriously wrong in the the 'system' if kids are getting raked over the coals for this.
With all that sugar in it, it's just as deadly!
