Jerrod Belcher, whose son J.B. attends Bagley Elementary School in Jefferson County, Ala., says his son was suspended for making a finger gun while playing 'cops and robbers.'
An outraged parent andare speaking out against an Alabama elementary school that suspended a first-grader, reportedly for making a finger gun.
Jerrod Belcher, whose six-year-old son J.B. attends Bagley Elementary School in Jefferson County, Alabama, says his son was suspended for making a finger gun while playing"cops and robbers." "Candidly, I thought the story may be a hoax until I reviewed the paperwork generated by the school," the attorney continued.
School administrators said that J.B. Belcher, six, threatened another student by making a gun with his fingers during recess. The young boy was suspended from school. His father and gun rights groups are demanding the school reverse course. "Further, the school district should confirm that it will allow age and context appropriate playtime activities which cause no substantial disruption, contain no actual, implied, or perceived threat, and pose no danger to anyone, and that, in the future, no student will face punishment or removal, regardless of whether students or staff would prefer young boys not use"gun fingers" as part of their play.
