5th-grader Suspended For Pointing His Finger Like A Gun


In what has come to be an all too familiar scene, we have a boy here that has become very confused as to what he did wrong. Is it wrong to use your imagination?

Gun paranoia has been partially created by school shootings, of course, but also in large part by Democratic propaganda against guns. The communists have done a good job at creating paranoia around guns to futher their disarmament agenda.

90% of all mass shootings are linked to anti-psychotic medication. How about a more thorough investigation into that connection instead of stifling a child’s imagination?

A conduct slip, written by Assistant Principal Noah Collins, lists the offense as a threat.

Collins could not be reached for comment despite numerous phone calls and emails seeking comment – nor could Stacy Principal Nancy Angelini. Superintendent Robert Tremblay also did not return phone calls and emails.

In the school’s 88-page handbook, threats are listed as an offense punishable by detention, suspension, or even expulsion based on the severity.

The level of severity is often at the discretion of the administrator tasked to reprimand the student, said School Committee Chairperson Scott Harrison.

Policies against threats and guns have been implemented in the district for decades, he said. The School Committee has made no recent revisions to the policy.

Though the handbook explicitly lists toy weapons as items banned from school grounds, there is no clause that specifically addresses imaginary weapons.

In the report provided by Brian Taylor, Collins writes two girls came to him saying that Nickolas cut the lunch line and, when confronted, pointed the imaginary gun at them while mouthing the shooting sounds.

In an interview with the Daily News, Nickolas said he was standing behind the girls and was shooting his imaginary gun in no particular direction.

Nickolas has no history of discipline outside detentions for incomplete school work, said Brian Taylor.

Nickolas has been diagnosed with ADHD and sometimes is disciplined because he is hyperactive and fails to focus, Brian Taylor said.

“He’s confused as to why he got suspended,” said Brian Taylor. “He doesn’t realize he did something wrong.”
