8-year-old Asher Palmer, a special needs boy, was recently suspended from school for rolling up a piece of paper ‘like a gun’ and pointing it at other students.
The Lang School in New York, which is private bastion with an annual tuition of $51,500, specializes in students with language difficulties.
“Asher is exactly the type of student Lang is supposed to be serving,” states Melina Spadone, the boy’s mother. “Why they did this doesn’t make sense.”
It doesn’t make sense because it’s yet another case of the ridiculous vilification of guns by the left – seeking to ‘educate’ a culture that guns are ‘horrifying’.

She was incensed that Principal Micaela Bracamonte told other staffers in an email that Asher “had a model for physically aggressive behavior in his immediate family.’’
Spadone thinks Bracamonte was referring to her husband because he served in the military during the Kuwait war. If that was the reason for the comment, she said, “I find it offensive and inappropriate.’’
As far as the toy gun is concerned, she said Asher, a first-year student, made it out of a piece of paper after discussing military weapons with his dad. His teachers told him not to point it at anyone, and he obeyed for a while.
The school claimed Asher also said he’d “kill’’ a girl in a separate incident — a typical argument between youngsters. While her son may have made the threat, Spadone said, people use the word “kill’’ all the time, and it shouldn’t be taken literally.
Spadone, who lives in Hell’s Kitchen, said the private school in lower Manhattan is supposed to help with social-behavioral issues of kids like Asher, who has been diagnosed with ADHD and problems communicating.

You live in a liberal area pay expensive liberal tuition, what do you expect
THIS IS SO WRONG
How Right the mother is and how Stupid the school is
The administrators need to grow the hell up
It seems that even this private school has been infected with the radical lefts disease that claims that anything that looks like or in anyway resembles a gun is dangerous. They are raising up a generation to be terrified of pretend guns.
They are teaching punishment can be expected for anything, in other words; WE CONROL THE VERTICAL, WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL……
Schools will rule as long as you allow it. No one can rule you if you refuse to be ruled over. A free society does not have rulers. They have representives that are paid by us. They work for us. Employees do not tell the boss what to do! Stand up America. These are our children. If we don’t who will?
Sue school board. A lot of them has been making stupid mistakes an it has to stop
they have gone too far on this gun thing, kids will be kids, they [ the school] are taking the childrens emaginations away, it seams like the schools don’t want kids to be kids anymore. and that is ashame
We need to get rid of our education system. It’s not teaching them anything.
