Seven year old Josh Welch, and his father, say the disruption lead to a two day suspension for the second grader in Brooklyn Park.
Academics are hard for Josh, who suffers from ADHD, but he excels in art class.
It is Josh's own creativity that may have gotten him into trouble. At Park Elementary school, Josh was enjoying his breakfast pastry when he decided to try and shape it into a mountain.
Josh said, "It was already a rectangle and I just kept on biting it and biting it and tore off the top and it kinda looked like a gun but it wasn't." Josh takes full responsibly for trying to shape his breakfast pastry, but admits it was in innocent fun.
Comment: The fundamental point here, the basic 'common sense' intelligence at the heart of the matter, is that it WAS NOT A GUN! The seven year old grasped that; that adults apparently did not.
And "Josh takes full responsibly"? Number 1, it's 'RESPONSIBILITY' and Number 2, SINCE WHEN DID IT BECOME A CRIME OR IN ANY WAY SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOUR FOR A 7-YEAR-OLD TO PLAY WITH HIS FOOD???
Comment: Further confirmation, as if we already needed it, that the United States of America is certifiably insane. Between his sense of humor and his basic human intelligence (a vanishingly rare thing these days), Josh will no doubt soon be labelled with Oppositional defiant disorder. Long may he 'suffer' from it, because at this rate, he'll be one of the few to emerge from our collective dystopian nightmare with his mind still intact.
