Pa. kindergartner suspended for bubble gun remark
– 10 hrs ago
MOUNT CARMEL, Pa. (AP) — A 5-year-old Pennsylvania girl who
told another girl she was going to shoot her with a pink toy gun that blows
soapy bubbles has been suspended from kindergarten.
Her family has hired an attorney to fight
the punishment, which initially was 10 days but was reduced to two.
Attorney Robin Ficker says Mount Carmel Area School District officials
labeled the girl a "terrorist threat" for the bubble gun remark, made Jan. 10 as
both girls waited for a school bus.
Ficker says the girl didn't even have the
bubble gun with her and has never fired a real gun. He says she's "the least
terroristic person in Pennsylvania."
School district solicitor Edward Greco tells
pennlive.com (http://bit.ly/13Nu0QF ) officials are looking into the case. He
said Friday school officials aren't at liberty to discuss disciplinary
actions.
