EAG: COLLINSVILLE, Ill. – An Illinois preschool crushed a 4-year-old’s love for learning this week when administrators suspended the boy for a week for bringing a spent shell casing to school to show his friends.
“He’s cried about it and he doesn’t understand why his school hates him, he said,” the boy’s mother, Kristy Jackson, told KTVI. “I’m not sure how a 7-day suspension teaches my son anything about tolerance or anything about why he was wrong.
“It just means his school doesn’t want him there because of the things he enjoys.”
Jackson explained that her son, Hunter, went with his grandfather – a Caseyville police officer – to learn about gun safety over the weekend and picked up a spent .22 shell casing and smuggled it to A Place 2 Grow preschool in Troy, Illinois to show his friends this week, Fox News reports.
“He was just wandering around in a field and picked it up and put it in his pocket and didn’t tell his parents,” Jackson said. MORE
Well, it’s his first name isn’t it. The 22 casing was all the validation they needed. He’ll have to try another school or change his name. That’s how the progressive game is played.
Wonder if Walmart would write his name on a birthday cake.
Don’t send your kid to a leftist indoctrination center. The lady would be a fool if she sent her kid back there. She should sue the school, too.
So many School Administrators simply do not have the ability to reason. That’s the main reason Teacher’s unions exist.
Unbelievable! I bet some worthless administrator thinks he/she did a great job by putting the hammer down on this little kid. If lived nearby I’d bring a few hundred spent shell casings and spread them around the school grounds. That would be like throwing bacon in a mosque.
@joe6pak: That’s the most evil thing I’ve ever heard of in my life!
…I love it.

Find a new school STAT. I don’t know how you can ever fix the problems wrong with this country when this is the caliber of liberal stupidity running our schools.
Local tv had a closeup without anything for size reference it looked like a spent mortar round.
But if he found a tampon, a condom or a baggie of Meth, that’d be just fine
If he’d been wearing a pair of them as earrings it would’ve been OK.
Smart kid saw it in a field and knew it was worthwhile. I had many ‘prizes’: metal, mechanical, glass, shiny rocks…
The Administrator’s kid would come home with a firm dog turd (shaped like obama’s head) and think it was invaluable.
If no backlash comes, mark down Collinsville as another lost territory
So how did a school administrator know what a spent 22 shell is?
Who ever even thinks or knows about guns should be banned from school shouldn’t they?
Thinking about a spent 22 is clearly as dangerous as having one. Let’s have that teacher and administrators head on a stake asap.
@joe6pack
Same thing works great in national parks.
I have heard of people doing such things near prairie dog towns located in parks in my neck of the woods but I have no first hand knowledge of such activities. Just rumors discovered in a Russian hacking document dump.
“A Place to Grow a Liberal ” is what it should be called.
C’mon, the kid’s first name is HUNTER. He faces a life of hate. Poor kid.
The state will soon outlaw violent baby names.
@Frank:
I don’t know if it was the admin or some other school cretin, but somebody called the .22 brass a “shotgun bullet.”
The school released a photo of the spent casing after several hours debating if it was actually spent.
I’m too tired.

Kids should stay home at preschool age. They need as much time in the incubator of their home and the values there — especially if they are conservative values. Don’t let the progtards have them until/unless it’s absolutely necessary. This is a good example of how they start working on the poor kids when they are such vulnerable sprouts.
@And One in the chamber: And that’s why the picture should always include a banana for scale.
🙂
@Vietvet – Heh! An African banana or a Central American banana? (-:
When I was a kid my cousin brought some live 22 shells to school. he and some of his friends were setting them off by crushing the rim fire ends with rocks. when the school staff found out they gave the boys a good scolding telling them what dangerous a thing they had done and never to do it again! all the boys grew up to be responsible family men. there was no punishment just a reprimand.
@Uncle Al: I always thought “African banana” was some kind of euphemism.

Spent .22 shells make great whistles. Curl your fingers with the shell tucked between the middle sections of two fingers and hole just exposed. Then blow a thin stream of air across the top.
Wonder what the school think of self striking match / clothes pin guns. Or paper match / tin foil rockets?
Yet another school proving a total lack of common sense from the teacher in the class room to the school administration.
Lock him in prison and throw away the key!
Back in the pre-enlightened days, in the very early ’70s, when I was on the public school board, students brought their rifles to school for the NRA class after school. Our school system didn’t produce even one mass murderer, nor criminal.
I can’t believe the wife didn’t do a strip search
and a walk through a metal detector before dropping
the kid off at school. WTF this country coming too?
oh yeah….
