BALTIMORE - A 7-year-old Maryland boy has been suspended from school after biting his breakfast pastry into a shape that his teacher thought looked like a gun.
Josh Welch, a second-grader at Park Elementary School in Baltimore, said he was trying to nibble his strawberry Pop Tart into a mountain.
"It was already a rectangle and I just kept on biting it and biting it and tore off the top and it kinda looked like a gun but it wasn't," Josh said. "All I was trying to do was turn it into a mountain but it didn't look like a mountain really and it turned out to be a gun kinda."
But when his teacher saw what he had done, the boy says she got "pretty mad" and he knew he was "in big trouble."
Josh's dad was called by the school and informed that his son had been suspended for two days.
"I asked if was any one was hurt, they said 'No'," B.J. Welch said. "I would almost call it insanity. I mean with all the potential issues that could be dealt with at school -- real threats, bullies, whatever the issue is. It's a pastry."
The school sent home a letter with every student informing parents that: "A student used food to make an inappropriate gesture."
Josh, who suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and enjoys art classes, said that his actions were innocent, according to a report in the Daily Mail .

Pop Tarts are gateway weapons.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Pop Tarts are more dangerous ingested than shaped into things.

Appalling irresponsible school, they allow kids to eat shit like pop tarts?
And just to make sure everyone is clear I'm not joking that sort of junk food should not be allowed in a school (obesity is more likely to kill than a firearm)

When only criminals carry guns the police know exactly who to shoot!

He's nearly old enough to be tried as an adult.
He's lucky that they didn't get a swat team to blow him away.

While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

I used to call one gal at high school "PT". Took her a while to figure it out, then she went to the principle.JimC wrote:The very name should be banned, it suggests that females of certain propensities should be shot...
