This is why America is turning into a Pussified Idiocracy: we are turning kids into sissies.
1. We punish them for being brave
Teen Prevents Knife Attack, Gets Reprimanded
A Calgary student was scolded for being involved in an incident with a weapon. Sounds pretty legitimate until you realize that he was stopping a potential stabbing from happening in his classroom. School officials hope to make the wayward vigilante an example to any other student who foolishly mistakes saving a life for an act of heroism.
2. We make them fear friendship
Kindergarten Girl Suspended for Threatening to Use Hello Kitty Bubble Gun
A young girl was temporarily removed from school for talking about using a bubble gun that she didn’t even have with her. In a typical five-year-old statement, the girl is quoted as saying that she wanted to shoot herself and her friends with the gun “so that they could all be together.” Such adorably flawed logic melts the hearts of most people, but for her school district, it was enough to spur a three-hour interrogation.
3. We don’t let them be themselves
Deaf Preschooler Asked to Change Name Because ASL Version Looks Like a Weapon
One preschool is demanding that a deaf three-year-old change his name because the way he signs it could somehow be mistaken for a weapon. School officials claim that the whole thing is a big misunderstanding, but are continuing to ask the boy to change his name, leading many to wonder exactly what the misunderstanding is.
4. We punish them for sticking to their beliefs
Girl Suspended for Touching Pill
A seventh grade girl in Indiana was suspended for ten days for violating her school’s drug policy by saying “no” to Adderall. When one of her classmates offered her the pill and placed it into her hand, the girl declined the drug and returned it to its owner immediately. School officials kicked her out of school for possession, and the girl decided that next time she’d say, “Eh, maybe once,” to drugs.
