To me its overreacting. In a country with so much gun culture, they scold a kid for wearing a keychain with the shape of a gun? Sure, you can educate the kid about what real guns do to people, but to suspend for that? Fuck me. I hate to bash Americans, but your internal policies lack alot of coherence.
Its a bit paranoid yes, but a squirt gun could also can be harmfull, by filling it with acid. But I bet it is easier to buy a gun there, than a galon of concentrated sulphuric acid.
