Pennsylvania school labels 5-year-old a "terrorist threat" for soap
bubble "gun" remark
http://j.mp/WeSw8P (LDNews)
"A central Pennsylvania family has hired an attorney to fight their
5-year-old daughter's 10-day suspension from kindergarten for telling
another girl she was going to shoot her with a bubble gun. Attorney
Robin Ficker says Mount Carmel Area School District officials labeled
the girl a "terrorist threat" for the remark made as both girls stood
waiting for a school bus on Jan. 10. The girl was referring to a
device that shoots out soap bubbles-which she didn't even have with
her at the time."
