"Michigan third grader suspended for having gun toy

The Associated Press

PONTIAC, Mich. (January 13, 2001 7:50 a.m. EST nandotimes.com) - School officials suspended a third-grade student this week under the state's zero-tolerance weapons law after he brought a 1 1/2-inch-long gun-shaped medallion to class.

The boy apparently found the piece of jewelry in a snowbank and brought it to Owen Elementary School on Wednesday, school officials said.

"State law takes precedence and requires us to take action even though it was a toy," said Donna Poag, director of elementary education for the Pontiac School District...."

A Detroit first grader has been sentenced to hang for bringing hundreds of gun-shaped pieces of cardboard into class hidden in a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. The Master of Education veteran teacher who initially inspected the puzzle box immediately called 911 and then collapsed from shock. Her identity is being withheld as a permanent medical disability settlement is being negotiated.
