'I wonder what the school would do if he held his arms out, and "flew" around the playground pretending to be an Obama Drone Strike?

Colorado must be full of very afraid nut cases.

7-year-old playing an imaginary game at school gets suspended for real

LOVELAND, Colo. — A 2nd grader has been suspended from school in Loveland for a make believe game he was playing.

The 7-year-old says he was trying to save the world. But school administrators say he broke a key rule during his pretend play.

“I was trying to save people and I just can’t believe I got dispended,” says Alex Evans, who doesn’t understand his suspension any better than he can pronounce it.

“It’s called ‘rescue the world,’” he says.

He was playing a game during recess at Loveland’s Mary Blair Elementary School and threw an imaginary grenade into a box with pretend evil forces inside.

“I pretended the box, there’s something shaking in it, and I go ‘pshhh.’”

The boy didn’t throw anything real or make any threats against anyone. He explains he was pretending to be the hero. “So nothing can get out and destroy the world.”

But his imaginary play broke the school’s real rules. The school lists “absolutes” designed to keep a safe environment. The list includes absolutely no fighting, real or imaginary; no weapons, real or imaginary. Click here to see the Mary Blair “Absolutes”:

“Honestly I don’t think the rule is very realistic for kids this age,” says Alex’s mom Mandie Watkins.

Alex is like a lot of 2nd graders, perpetual motion. His mom says the little boy doesn’t understand why pretending to be a soldier was wrong. “I think that when a child is trying to save the world, I don’t think he should be punished for it.”

At least one other parent FOX31 Denver talked to agrees with her.

“That’s just a boy growing up,” says Elliott Orozco. “That’s what I did and I didn’t become a bad guy.”

Nevertheless, Alex will be playing at home rather than in the school yard because his mom says he’ll stay home until this can be worked out.

the school system is FULL of power tripping liberals who fear anything now a days! Imagine if a kid snuck their pet hamster into a school these days!

Hamsters are fine, it's the home packed lunches and imaginary weapons we gotta worry about.

What is with these new .docx files????

What is Microsoft trying to do? I have to change the file extention to .doc from .docx in order to read it.

The thought police are loose.

Back to the subject at hand.... I would sue that damn school


But better than that, people should take their children out of the schools and home school them using computers at home.

Screw the freaking government school systems.

I wrote a letter to the school. I'm going to mail it.

Real guns and real grenades.....are real. The school is responding to and from within a culture of gun-toting alcoholics. Our peace officers carry machine guns and don't feel safe. The opposite would be.....a class on how to psychologically ruin your classmate using only hand cannons and moonshine? You can't do that....it's school.

I've seen a recent hunter safety class. The kids are kids....impulsive and as intelligent as the doorknobs that entered them. This should be stayed on top of, but not for such a young age.
