We keep making knee-jerk reactions that affect everyone, in order to limit bad behavior of a vast minority.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Should guns be brought to school?  Probably not.  But as a seventh grade kid, who wouldn't think it was cool just to see or hold it?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I'm curious if this violated a crime or a standing school policy.   I don't know how specific the rules are.  Do they say that touching a toy gun is cause for expulsion?  If they took such drastic action against something that wasn't illegal or against school policies, then there are solid reasons for protest here.  What other unwritten rules are cause for expulsion?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Just some thoughts,&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;BJ&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://stupidscholar.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow"&gt;Stupid Scholar&lt;/A&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5485453378423553080/4776707957638209789/comments/default/193271537496274610'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5485453378423553080/4776707957638209789/comments/default/193271537496274610'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://snafu-ed.blogspot.com/2008/03/students-expelled-for-touching-bb-gun.html?showComment=1206535140000#c193271537496274610' title=''/><author><name>BJ Buracker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16613575838269069020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://snafu-ed.blogspot.com/2008/03/students-expelled-for-touching-bb-gun.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5485453378423553080.post-4776707957638209789' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5485453378423553080/posts/default/4776707957638209789' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
