This happened at Orange Lake School, Moss Point School system, Moss Point, MS.
I come home and sat down on the couch with him and we were talking about school when he started telling me about a cool picture of a cowboy he had drawn, big hat, handlebar mustache, etc, etc.
When I asked him to show it to me, he said it got torn up, I asked why and he said because it had a gun in the picture, the teacher took it, tore it up and threw it away!? I said "Huh?" He said his class is not allowed to draw or talk about or make-believe play with guns.
I've only gotten his side of the story, but he acted like it is common knowledge that they are not allowed to talk or play with anything that they could call a toy gun.
Is this true, any one else here have an experience like this?Just what the he** are they teaching our kids?
I've thought about contacting the teacher, but I'm not sure exactly how to handle this.
BTW, my son has shot all of my handguns along with my .22 and my SKS. I've taught him well, he is very safe with my guns and is a pretty darn good shot. Probably the hardest thing for me to break him of doing was to not rest his finger on the trigger and to put the safety back on (when applicable), but that has been fixed. I take him shooting usually about twice a month.
