A 7-year-old Maryland boy was suspended from school for two days for shaping a breakfast pastry into what his teacher thought looked like a gun, according to his father.
FoxBaltimore.com reports that Josh Welch, a second-grader at Park Elementary School in Baltimore, was eating a strawberry tart when he decided to shape it into a mountain.
"All I was trying to do was turn it into a mountain but, it didn't look like a mountain really and it turned out to be a gun [kind of]," Josh told the station.
Josh, who suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, said his teacher was visibly mad when she saw that the pastry looked like a gun, according to the report.
The boy's dad, who was not identified in the report, was later notified that Josh had been suspended for two days for fashioning the pastry into a gun.
A letter was sent home with students explaining that "a student used food to make an inappropriate gesture," the station reported.
School officials declined to a request for comment from FoxBaltimore.com due to privacy issues.
It just occured to me, Muscatine county is gun shaped too. Oh the humanity. We'll all be killed. But wait! Maybe, if we change county lines, we can save ourselves.
Seriously now libs, get serious and stop the bullshit. You are only embarrasing yourselves.
