Now obviously, anyone with any common sense would react to this story with immediate shock and disbelief. The 5 year old child merely discussed "shooting bubbles" with a bubble gun she didn't even have with her, and she is immediately suspended? How does this compute? Have school districts gone completely insane? Actually, I believe they are quite aware and cognizant of what they are doing...
"A 5-year-old girl was suspended from school earlier this week after she made what the school called a "terrorist threat."
Her weapon of choice? A small, Hello Kitty automatic bubble blower.
The kindergartner, who attends Mount Carmel Area Elementary School in Pennsylvania, caught administrators' attention after suggesting she and a classmate should shoot each other with bubbles..."

Teachers and school administrators attend educational seminars (propaganda seminars) just like law enforcement, social workers, and most other state employees. They are given "action plans" and memo's on "suspicious behavior". They are trained to create very specific environmental conditions within their classrooms. Do they understand the full implications of their behavior towards their students? Probably not. But they are aware that they are implementing an educational regime designed to condition out certain behaviors and ideas in the children they teach.
I remember well the DARE program from my early years, which taught us that drug possession was paramount to murder and that it was okay to turn in one's own parents for usage because it would "save their lives". I also remember the constant drone of environmentalism (some of which was legitimate, but most of it nonsense), which taught us the evils of humanity and "overpopulation", as well as the horrors that awaited us in the year 2000 (including the complete disappearance of fresh drinking water. I guess they missed the mark on that one...).
There is in fact a longstanding tradition within American public schools of manipulation. Hell, let's just call it what it really is: Brainwashing!
In 2013, little has changed accept the subject matter. Today, children are being trained with fear and shame to despise the very idea of firearms. Not only the misuse of firearms, but the concept of firearms ownership for ANY person. It is also no mistake that school officials chose the word "terrorist" when describing the Kindergarten girl.
I recently wrote an article covering the suggestion by Reuters gun control advocates (among others) that public schools be "forced" to institute anti-gun propaganda by the federal government using the threat of funding cuts:
http://www.alt-market.com/articles/1231-gun-grabbers-call-for-re-education-programs-in-public-schools
They were quite bold and open with the purpose of this re-education curriculum; to breed out the American gun culture by browbeating our children. The problem is, this was already going on for years before Sandy Hook; they have only picked up the pace since.
School children across the country are now being suspended for toy guns, games with gun imagery, and even pointing their fingers as if using a gun:

This is not just a "zero tolerance policy" on the part of school officials. This is a concerted and directed effort to frighten children away from the whole of American gun culture using negative reinforcement. Like Pavlov's Dog, which was taught to salivate at the sound of a bell, America's youngest generation is being taught to cringe at the mention of firearms. Anti-gun proponents will argue that is is not necessarily a "bad thing" to teach children to shy away from guns, however, regardless of the subject matter, it is NOT the job of the government or government employees to implant their personal world views into the minds of our kids. It is not their job to inject their personal biases into America's youth. Character development is the job of the parent and the child together. Period. The state should never be allowed to play middle-man and dictate philosophical and political ideals to anyone, especially the young, impressionable, and fragile. Once this methodology becomes acceptable to the public, it will never end, for if the government is allowed to choreograph the thought processes of school kids in one area, then why not eventually tell them how to think in ALL areas?

They are programming our kids attitude toward guns. Government schools are not there for education their purpose is to program the next generation of slaves.

When We send our Children to Their Schools, We are indeed asking Them to brainwash the children. Otherwise, we would change the system...or get our children out of that system.

This will remain the case until they need to train up millions of boys and girls to be warriors when the next big war comes along.

Since all parents feel differently on issues they have to keep gun toys and sensitive material out of schools. If one parent thinks it is ok for their child to have toy guns then they should be allowed, but not at a school because some parents do not feel their children should be exposed to such things at a young age. Some parents smoke but it is not ok to do it on school grounds. There is a time and place for everything guns are not for schools, just like the teaching of gins should be kept out of schools as well. I am not against guns or the use of such but i do think that childrens' toys should be labeled differently especially if they are for such a young age.

Your view reflects the apathetic nature of collectivism, and is the reason why our country has gone down the tubes.
Not that it matters, but the girl HAD NO TOY GUN at school. Did you not read the article? She merely talked about shooting her friends with bubbles. This is not about protecting other children from "exposure" to make other parents happy. It is about conditioning children to fear and hate the IDEA of firearms from an early age. It is about propagandizing them.
In any case, a five year old should not be punished like a criminal for bringing a toy gun to school, or talking about playing with a toy gun. Use some common sense.
Also, the belief that you can censure all aspects of an environment and shelter a child completely from ideas you don't happen to like is foolish.
I don't necessarily agree that very young children should be exposed to sexual concepts that they won't grasp until adolescence anyway. But, I do realize that our culture is so awash in sex that those children are going to be confronted with the information no matter what.
Socialists viciously insist on sex education in public schools at younger and younger ages and in the face of parents who would rather not have their children around it. So, don't tell me that the schools care about the feelings of parents.
Again, this is about training children to fear and loath guns. It is conditioning with an agenda. Period.
