School officials at Jepsen Magnet School in New Haven, Connecticut, called police on a student who made a gun out of Legos, then pointed it at other students.
Fox 61 reports that Will Clark, COO of New Haven Public Schools, defended the school’s reaction to the construction of a Lego gun. He said:

School leaders and local police partners were able to investigate and resolve the issue internally with use of restorative practices. Appropriate steps were taken at the school level to insure the safety of all students and to impress upon the students the seriousness of engaging in positive peer interactions while avoiding conduct that may pose risk or concern to others. All children need to feel safe and secure within the learning environment and we all have a role to play to make that happen.
Fox News reports that the age and identity of the student were not released. Jepsen Magnet School has students “pre-kindergarten through eighth,” according to WFSB.
Doodling at school I guess is now a thought crime that police and administrators must investigate to ensure student safety.Fuck me.
This sick shit has went way too far, Death to all libs.
so you want to counteract “going too far” by going too far?
did you learn about irony in school?
Great waste of police resources.
It is a really good model. I don’t see anything wrong about looking a little into it. It means that you have a kid that has paid a lot of attention to the details of a semiautomatic rifle. It may mean:
– There are guns in his home and his dad enjoys using it. Good.
– He likes guns. He dream of being a Navy Seal Team Six member. Good
– He is a rebel that like pushing the limits on liberal gun hating teachers. Double plus good.
– He has some “ideas” on how to use a real gun in class. Double plus ungood
We don’t know if they called the police right away, or after talking to the kid. So I will not make any assumption. While I know that progressives tend to be stupids, I don’t think that they are THAT stupid.
What is ridiculous is the language used. If the just said “this is not usual, so we wanted to be sure that he is a kid that just like guns and not a potential Parkland shooter”. I may be ok with that.
But “to impress upon the students the seriousness of engaging in positive peer interactions while avoiding conduct that may pose risk or concern to others”? From a Lego gun? If it were a Nerf they would have panicked. It actuall shoots!
What a shipload of bull….!!!
Greetings,
All the school officials did were to ensure that this student and all members of his extended family now know the importance of owning guns. This family now knows who the real enemies are.
I’m sick of our tax dollars being used to create more people that will not support the system.
The school commissars freak out on other things too. Like pocket knives.
It wasn’t always like that here in my neck of the woods. Kids would bring knives to school and literally have mini knife shows among associates at lunch time where they would be bought, sold, and traded. The blades had to be under 4 inches and no switch blades. No one cared as long as it was very low key and wasn’t distracting. Teachers were usually watching but they liked the knives, too.
Now fast forward to the present times. I knew of a kid who brought a pocket knife to school and of course the copfucks were called and the kid was expelled. Nowadays every school has a resident cop called a school resource officer. You see they’re being taught to get used to the police state. However there seems to be LOTS of druggie students and they’re never expelled but always back in the classroom after a few days out. The he-shes (trannies) are always bitching about discrimination, but hey, when you’re fugly (ugly as fuck) and other kids make fun of you kissing your equally ugly girlfriend/boyfriend, what can they expect?
I believe that someone somewhere high up wants as many distractions as possible at school to disrupt education. The production of illiterate children is not an accident but is a very well designed outcome. I challenge everyone to really dig deep into this subject as it has “developed” over the last 100 years and you will be amazed. The stupid people will call you a conspiracy theorist but it’s not a theory when it’s a consensus and they tell you what they want to do, in black and white print.
That was a cool looking gun. I’d give him an A.
The article didn’t mention whether or not the cops hid behind their cop cars until the ‘Lego Threat’ was put away…
The depth of Stupidity is mind boggling. For heaven’s sake it’s LEGO, not a GUN.
I wonder if the French had a similar attitude prior to WWII.
It certainly seems to be the one their young men in the military exhibited when the German young soldiers moved against them.
You either raise your men to be men or you raise them to be something different. The French didn’t and the Germans did. Fortunately, the Americans back in those days did as well.
Your ignorance of history knows no bounds. French generals and political leaders created the disaster for the French in 1940, not the average fighting man. It also didn’t help that an entire generation of men got wiped out in World War I. Your naive simplistic view of the world is breathtaking to behold. Critical thinking is not possible for low IQ cheerleaders like yourself.
Been reading a book on Lawrence (of Arabia Fame).
The hubris and stupidity of the English generals and political leaders with regards to their activities in the ME during WW1 is stunning to behold.
How these people get to positions of power and hold them is a mystery to me.
That’s easy.
Shit floats.
Let go of my leggo , it took really talent and vision during the assembly to produce such a fine piece of art work . Let’s not forget leggo is a toy harmful only if swallowed . Should any fucking snowflake little skull of mush feel unsafe because a leggo gun was pointed about how the hell did they get to school . More children die in a car or a 5 gallon bucket . The adminastration the police are all overpaid shit heads that should not be infecting the minds of young people ! Criminalizing normal childish boyhood behavior is the only way these minions of the state can justify there authority and existance . In the real adult world we handle things like this in a more positive manner and it does not make headline news !
Back in the Cambrian era when I was a Boy Scout, there was a Marksmanship merit badge (or was it Riflery?). At summer camp there was a shooting range (all .22 single-shots). We were taught the basics: treat all guns as if loaded, do not point at anything you won’t shoot, do not point at each other, etc.\
First day a goofus was learning, the instructor said: “Have you fired that round yet?” and Doofus said “No!” and SWUNG AROUND to face the instructor. The four nearest of us hit the deck, instructor grabbed the muzzle and pointed it overhead, cussed out the Doofus who never did that again.
No psychological tests were ordered, no one received grief counseling, no one went to jail – in fact, after the cussing out, everything went back to normal and class continued to the end of the hour. AFAIK no one shot anyone else for as long as I ever heard of the class, some six or seven years in my case.
What have we lost in raising generations ignorant of gun safety? Are you really safer because your kid and everyone else’s kid has never held a gun, fired a gun, doesn’t know one end from the other or how to tell if one is loaded? Ignorance is NOT bliss.
SHEEP.
