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.

Absolutely stupidly nuts!
More LIbbie lefts’s again.
That’s crazy, maybe they need help
You know, this is really stupid….kids have been playing cops and robbers and cowboys and Indians F O R E V E R….this is the epitome of insane. The child is in a school….not an insane asylum.
They are more interested in brainwashing our children and rewriting history so Obama is a king.
This is insane! Boys have been playing cowboys or cops and robbers for years and years and they don’t become killers. By making this a big deal, it just makes kids more curious and it will result in far worse things
Yes, going too far.
Meanwhile the Muslims are teaching there Childern to hate and kill anybody who doesn’t agree with them
That’s what you get by sleeping too long. Now the Zionist running your country.
That was going too far.
