It’s not acceptable to tell 7 year olds to “suck it up” for your incompetent rules.

Grow up. The kid was eventually going to be suspended for two days, after having it explained to her that it’s not OK to joke about shooting people. Big deal, except that obviously it’s time for the lawyers to cash in.

If the principal at my school told me my kid would be suspended for two days because of some dumb rule, I would most likely “suck it up” because that’s the cost of living in society and having people educate your kids for a pretty unimpressive wage packet.

Again, in a country with sane gun laws, this wouldn’t be a problem. But we don’t live in that country, we live in America, where every so often a five year old kills another five year old with the home protection device.
