Only in New York...

Maybe the principal wants to mandate that young boys play with Barbie dolls instead:

Laura Timoney fumes after son Patrick, 9, is busted for bringing 2-inch-long toy gun to PS 52

quote:

Patrick Timoney, 9, was terrified when he was yanked into the principal's office to discuss the teeny-weeny plastic "weapon."

"The gun was so little," the boy said. "I don't understand why the principal got so upset. I was a little nervous. They made me sign a statement."

Patrick and a friend were playing with Lego figures in the school cafeteria on Tuesday when he pulled out the faux machine gun and stuck it in the hands of his plastic police officer.


I think that this is funny, seeing as how one New York precinct was caught falsifying crime stats to make it appear that crime had gone down in the area.
