I am now one hundred percent convinced that political correctness has completely destroyed any iota of sanity in this country.  I just saw a headline out of Osceola County, Florida, that not only blew my mind, but made me wonder if drugs might actually be better than reality.

This story, School suspends child for using finger as pretend gun while playing with friends, could have been taken straight out of The Onion.  It’s that bizarre.  It seems that an eight year old boy “kicked out of class for playing cops with his friends at Harmony Community School and using his finger to simulate a handgun.”

But that’s not the worst of it.  According to the article from WFTV Channel 9 in Central Florida, “the school considered the gesture to be an act of violence.”

SERIOUSLY?  AN ACT OF VIOLENCE?  WTF?

Fox News, which also reported this story, claimed that “school district officials told the station its code of conduct prohibits students from playing with invisible guns.”

SERIOUSLY?  INVISIBLE GUNS?  WTF?

Think about it.  This kid could be scarred for life for the “crime” of using his imagination.  I guess it’s no longer safe for little boys to play cowboys and Indians or cops and robbers.  While we’re at it, why don’t we just neuter every American boy at birth and give them tutus for Christmas?

What will the PC Police outlaw next?  Football?

John Wayne must be rolling in his grave.

The mother of the “offender” is understandably upset.  “She hopes by speaking out that administrators will start distinguishing between an actual threat and a pretend game.”

I think she’s expecting too much common sense from mindless bureaucrats who have already been force fed “sensitivity” indoctrination to the point that they can no longer think for themselves.

I don’t know about you folks, but I am totally sick of this nonsense.  I’m still shaking my head in disbelief.
