A 7-year-old Maryland boy was suspended from school for 2 days for shaping a breakfast pastry into what his teacher thought looked like a gun.

Josh Welch, a second-grader at Park Elementary School in Baltimore, was eating a strawberry tart when he decided to shape it into a mountain.

"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 [kind of]," Josh told.

People are getting just a little too paranoid.
I am pretty well convinced teachers in America are liberal psychos anyway.

Thank goodness people in the southern part of the US aren't this insane. You don't hear about reports like this happening where I live.

Really?!?! What? Was the teacher afraid he was going to shoot strawberry filling at someone? Can you imagine? "Death by Pop-Tart, news at 11" What a dumbass teacher!

that's because we Southerners (well, our geographical brethren anyway) are gun obsessed! "He's walking now, so I went out and him a Baby's 1st Rifle!" Theyre a different brand of nuts down here.

People need to get a grip before pointing your finger becomes a felony.

A mole hill becomes a mountain? Or does a mountain become an AR15? What sort of gun was it? ARPoPTart? Either the kid is a nutcase or the teachers are totally effed up in the brain. Someone's been smoking some serious cronic way to0 much.

What is interesting is since the Columbine shooting all the mass school shootings with the exception of 1 were all from liberal backgrounds, and from democratic states....and these are the people wanting stricter gun laws.

Two first-graders were reportedly suspended for forming imaginary guns with their fingers for a game of cops and robbers during recess.
The disciplinary action against the 6-year-old boys at White Marsh Elementary in Trappe, Md. aroused controversy after parents condemned the punishment as excessive.

One boy’s father, Stephen Grafton, considers the suspension ridiculous.

“This was in no way a threatening act,” Grafton told the Daily News. “It is indicative of a school system that is not attempting to teach the problem but just removing students.”

Grafton thinks that the faculty should have used the incident as a teaching point to explain what is or is not appropriate playground behavior.

“They could simply sit down and say, ‘Hey, this is why we do not shoot at each other.’ That did not happen and that really is why we are so upset about this,” he said.

The boy’s mother, Teri Bildstein, is worried about her child’s self-esteem and academic performance,” reported local newspaper The Star Democrat.
