Remember the story about the Pennsylvania girl getting suspended over a Hello Kitty Bubble Gun?

Well...

...and it was an exceptionally stupid day yesterday. 

 

First, my friend Comrade Karla posted a story on Facebook about a boy in Virginia (I believe) that was interrogated for two hours and suspended for ten days for bringing a cap gun on a school bus.

 

However, not to be outdone, the Zero Tolerance Nazis in Nebraska have done one better.  Grand Island school officials are trying to get parents to change their 3 year-old deaf son's name.

 

Why?

 

Because in sign language his name "looks too much like a gun."

 

Really?

 

I mean, if MSN thinks this incident is stupid, then it's downright imbecilic.

 

As Mark Steyn warned, over the pop tart gun incident, "No society can survive this level of stupidity."
