The boy didn’t throw anything real or make any threats against anyone. He explains he was pretending to be the hero. “So nothing can get out and destroy the world.”

But his imaginary play broke the school’s real rules. The school lists “absolutes” designed to keep a safe environment. The list includes absolutely no fighting, real or imaginary; no weapons, real or imaginary.

:facepalm:

That's what I call a "knee jerk over-reaction" and its quite common where I work. They'll make up rules one day, something goes wrong because they didn't think things true, then they play the game called: "Who's turn is it to get tossed under the bus?"

Seems pretty typical for an academic environment today -- but its really sad. Kids that age are always pretending something. Its part of growing up.

What is actually happening is that the system is emasculating our boys so that they are easier to control and do not fight back.
