A crisis in our school systems.

Marie Morrow is a senior at Cherokee Trail High School outside of Denver. She is also a member of the Douglas County Young Marines, a group dedicated to teaching leadership and life skills.

Morrow participates with the group's drill team. The drill team uses "practice rifles" made out of wood and duct tape.

Last week, Morrow inadvertently left three wooden "practice" rifles in the back of her SUV when she drove to school.

LOL. Can you say Columbine?

I am going to look for another side to this story.

Can you say common sense?

It seems that Morrow has run afoul of the school's policy which calls for "mandatory expulsion" of students who possess a dangerous weapon on school grounds. The term "weapon" includes "a firearm facsimile".

Columbine was perpetrated with real firearms, not wooden facsimiles.

what's next, students won't be able to make the famous thumb and forefinger to the head gesture?

I've said it before, political correctness and it's offshoots are the biggest danger facing our republic.

I agree with everything you guys are saying. This is an opportunity for the school system to fix a mistake brought on by a set of rules established in the wake of the Columbine tragedy. I am not defending the school system. This is an opportunity for the school officials to use, as previously mentioned by Savage, some common sense.

The problem is common sense is becoming much less common these days.

If idiots (and throttling waaay down to give them that much credit) like those running that school are the people teaching our children how can we be surprised if the schools keep turning out fractured kids? These were not weapons nor as described could be taken as such by anyone with the reasoning power of cabbage.

Hoplophobia, like any phobia, is a genuine mental disorder. It is also one that, like several others, (arachnophobia and ophidiophobia being major ones) is often learned. You want to keep "real" guns out of schools? I'm right with you. You want to suspend and threaten a student for having something that resembles a weapon in the same sense a paper airplane resembles an F-15? You are a genuine idiot and a very real threat to the upbringing of our future.

Believe this or not but it's true.

In no way could you describe the area in which I live to be dominated by paranoid liberals such as you will find elsewhere, Denver being an excellent example but my next door neighbor's son had his teenager suspended three days for wearing a miniature pistol hair beret about two inches long.

He told me they called him in another time for her wearing of what they deemed 'inappropriate attire.' She had an old shirt from the sixties printed with some zany saying that the era was so fond of.

He said he wore his Harley shirt in and sat down for the interview and was very nice, saying yes ma'am, no ma'am, we'll try to do better ma'am and when the interview was over he got up to walk out and the back of his Harley shirt said; "If you can read this, the bitch fell off."

He said he guessed they got the idea, he let her wear whatever she liked and they didn't call him back in.
