10-Year-Old Ohio Boy Suspended for Making Fingers in Shape of a Gun

Ten-year-old Nathan Entingh was recently suspended from school for three days for making his fingers in the shape of a gun. His father, Paul Entingh, says that the boy was "goofing off" with his friends in fifth grade science class when the teacher took him out of the room, invoking Ohio's zero-tolerance policy.

Than was suspended on Feb. 26 for "making his fingers look like a gun, having the thumb up and the pointed finger sticking out." His father added:

It is this kind of thing that really makes it hard to take gun law reform proponents seriously. I honestly am waiting for some 1st grader to get expelled for writing the word "gun" and a sheet of paper and holding it at arm's length.

He had a son threatened with suspension for basically the same thing, making "finger guns". When he spoke to someone at the school, the explanation he was given was that this is a common gang sign meaning watch your back or I'm going to shot you. Since you can't just suspend gangsters for making this sign, that might be construed as being racially motivated, you have to suspend anyone doing so. That doesn't really explain the pop-tart "guns" or the 2" lego toys, but it does put the finger gun concept into some sort of perspective. I still think it's BS, but it makes more sense then the others.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/ohio-student-points-finger-gun-suspended-22763446

First hit of a Google search.

abcnews definitely puts a slightly different spin on the story than your quote, Jeff.

You have to wonder what sign the kid was making, though.





The second one is definitely skeerier. Maybe he should have gone with...

Gang sign? There was a Texas female student who's picture was not allowed in the yearbook because her huge grin could be seen as a "gang sign."

I have a suggestion, some one give these people a reality check.

It's all part and parcel of the New America. Heaven forbid anyone be singled out or offended. It should give us all a warm fuzzy.

You laugh, but the old gun-in-the-finger trick is something to watch out for.

I've seen police called because a girl brought a deadly weapon to school, a rat tail comb.

Is it any wonder why there is so much more "home schooling" than years ago. Parents want to protect their children from school administrations.

LOL! Funniest post I've read in ages.

Many thanks for a much-needed chuckle!

Did you forget about the girl who was suspended for firing a hello kitty bubble gun at a classmate?
