Appeal for Maryland 7-year-old suspended for nibbling pastry into
shape of a gun
http://j.mp/15PMzoa (Washington Post)
In the appeal, Ficker wrote that the boy was accused of classroom
disruption, although it was during a breakfast period with no
teaching. The child's classmates were eating the same breakfast bars
and recognized "the pastry as a pastry and not a gun," the appeal
said. The shape that touched off so much trouble, the appeal argues,
is similar in appearance to puzzle pieces of states such as Idaho,
Florida and Oklahoma, which it said are "available in every second
grade classroom in the state of Maryland." The filing included photos
of chewed Pop-Tarts and the three states.
