Nuclear proliferation? Islamic extremism? Heck, global warming?<\/p>\n<p>Nope, guess again.<\/p>\n<p>The correct answer is children with pretend guns. Yup, these pint-sized rapscallions with their make-believe weapons are destroying civilization and everything we hold dear.<\/p>\n<p>An overreaction? I don\u2019t think so. Not if you consider how schools respond to these little cretins.<\/p>\n<p>For example, five-year-old Caitlin Miller was suspended from her Raeford, N.C., school this for holding a stick that faintly resembled a gun.<\/p>\n<p>Caitlin and her friends were playing &#8220;king and queen&#8221; on the playground and she was charged with protecting the monarchs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was the guard,\u201d Caitlin told <a href=\"https:\/\/abc11.com\/education\/girl-5-suspended-for-playing-with-stick-gun\/1823430\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"school-suspends-five-year-old-girl-stick-gun\" title=\"School Suspends Five-Year-Old Girl for \u2018Stick Gun\u2019\">WTVD<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Well, to keep the king and queen safe, she grabbed a stick, pretended it was a gun, and used it to thwart off imaginary intruders. A huge no, no on school grounds.<\/p>\n<p>Once school staff learned what she was doing, she was immediately taken off the playground and brought before the principal for punishment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne minute she\u2019s playing with her friends and the next her teachers are dragging her to the principal\u2019s office,\u201d her mother, Brandy Miller, told WTVD. \u201cShe\u2019s confused. Nobody explained anything to her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the Hoke County School district said it \u201cwill not tolerate assaults, threats or harassment from any student.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny student engaging in such behavior will be removed from the classroom or school environment for as long as is necessary to provide a safe and orderly environment for learning,\u201d the statement continued.<\/p>\n<p>But was she really threatening or assaulting or harassing any other students? Wasn\u2019t she just playing with her friends?<\/p>\n<p>When Brandy told her daughter, \u201cyou can\u2019t say you\u2019re going to shoot and kill people.\u201d Little Caitlin looked confused and replied, \u201cI never said that?\u201d according to her mother\u2019s post on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, Caitlin is confused as heck about the whole situation. How does one get suspended for playing on a playground?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe feels like all the teachers hate her,\u201d Miller wrote on Facebook. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine being 5 and feeling that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t they still make Nerf guns and water guns that kids shoot each other with?\u201d Miller wrote on Facebook. \u201cDon\u2019t kids still play paintball and laser tag? I can see a suspension for an older kid who knows better and who is actually threatening other kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All I can say is that I\u2019m glad those heroic teachers and principals acted in the manner that they did. That little Caitlin and her stick gun are all that is wrong with America. Were she not stopped, only God knows how many pretend bad guys she would\u2019ve kept out of that make-believe kingdom to save the imaginary king and queen. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>#PretendLivesMatter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cOne minute she\u2019s playing with her friends and the next her teachers are dragging her to the principal\u2019s office,\u201d her mother, Brandy Miller, told WTVD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":72181,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,25,216],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-72180","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>School Suspends Five-Year-Old Girl for \u2018Stick Gun\u2019<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"\u201cOne minute she\u2019s playing with her friends and the next her teachers are dragging her to the principal\u2019s office,\u201d her mother, Brandy Miller, told WTVD.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/school-suspends-five-year-old-girl-stick-gun\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"School Suspends Five-Year-Old Girl for \u2018Stick Gun\u2019\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u201cOne minute she\u2019s playing with her friends and the next her teachers are dragging her to the principal\u2019s office,\u201d her mother, Brandy Miller, told WTVD.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/school-suspends-five-year-old-girl-stick-gun\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-04-01T15:14:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-20T20:42:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-31-at-2.37.34-PM.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"895\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"515\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
