Iowa girl suspended for empty shotgun shell at school

A Des Moines, Iowa, girl who brought an empty shotgun shell to school to show her science teacher was suspended for violating the school's weapons policy.

Authorities say 12-year-old Jazmine Martin brought the shell to school last week. It was a souvenir from a summer vacation to South Dakota. It was empty and had the word "blank" written on the front.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Here is the problem. These kids know this is a totally silly and inappropriate application of the rules, and as a result, will grow up respecting neither the rules or the useful idiots enforcing them.
