Am I allowed to laugh at the stupidity of this?

That's right, a first-grader with autism was suspended because he bit his sandwich into the shape of a gun and then pointed it at his friends.

Six-year-old John Medina of Sara Harp Minter Elementary in Georgia apparently committed the act of domestic terrorism at lunchtime back in March.

This isn't his first rodeo though.

Here's the NYP:

Since 2023, John has been disciplined at least 33 times, including 14 suspensions for incidents like kicking and punching classmates at recess, according to school records obtained by the outlet.

Okay, that's bad, but what about his WORST crimes?? πŸ‘‡

John was previously suspended for pointing a bottle of water at another student and making gun noises and also punished for drawing a pilgrim shooting a turkey, records seen by ANF reportedly show.

Here's what the school came up with:

Fayette County Schools Superintendent Jonathan Patterson told ANF the district is 'committed to meeting parents to try to work through these challenging situations that maybe we agree on, that maybe we don't agree on, but we're committed to keep coming back to the table and trying to resolve those things.'

Something's gotta change here, because gun-sandwiches are an American freedom no school should ever take away!
