Child Still Expelled for Toy Gun – a Year Later
Samuel Burgos has fond memories of his friends at school, but he only gets to see them in pictures now.
The 8-year-old boy hasn’t been in school for a year and will likely miss another year if the Broward County School Board has its way.
Burgos was suspended from school in November after a teacher found a toy gun in his backpack. But when the boy went to register to go back to Pembroke Pines Charter School, he was told he will be expelled for this school year, too, as part of the county’s zero tolerance weapons policy.
“He made a mistake, but why the severe punishment? I don’t understand that,” said Magdiel Burgos, Sam’s dad.
School board officials said the rules are quite clear and that the toy gun constituted a weapon. A school board report on the incident mentions that Samuel showed the toy gun to another student and it was capable of firing projectiles.
ARE THESE PEOPLE COMPLETELY OUT OF THEIR FREAKIN’ MINDS? Do they have any idea how utterly IGNORANT they are appearing to the entire world? The total lack of common sense has become a plague to the rational, and many suffer, especially children, for this kind of stupidity!
Oh, I just had a marvelous (well, to me, anyway) idea! How about we strike back at schools, and their boards, which act so stupid as this? Here’s the plan: start collecting donations to fund the project, which is to buy the cheap, dollar-store toy guns in bulk, and place them all over school property and the properties of the board members! Perhaps we could even attach notes with remarks such as “Nooooo, don’t touch me! You know how dangerous we toy guns are!” or “I’m a dangerous weapon, you must receive proper training before even thinking about thinking about touching me.”
I think it’s a brilliant idea! LMAO
Zero tolerance once again equals zero judgemet, zero common sense, zero mercy and zero neural activity. ‘Why think when we can just obey?’ Liberalism is once again revealed to be the new slavery.
Lawyers and bureaucrats run this country. Not the citizens.
And said lawyer and bureaucrats don’t give a damn about common sense!
Hey…why did I have to approve your comments? Did you change your email address or some such?
I come at you from different IPs so maybe that’s it? Or maybe I mispelled something? Or misspelled? mis-spelled? Miss Spelled? Ms. Spelled? Mr. Spelled?

LMAO Well, however ya got here, ya got here.
