Perhaps the record for school stupidity

Posted by David Hardy · 5 June 2013 11:09 AM

Some students at Chase Lake Elementary School asked to bring nerf guns to school in order to conduct an experiment relating to probability theory. Their teacher approved, but they got suspended anyway. The school insists it was a "safety issue." Yep, Nerf guns are surely a clear and present danger.

Not to give the spineless ones ammunition, but what else besides Nerf guns was involved? I recall HS physics where two students were standing on the roof parapet to drop two weights in demonstration of Galileo's experiment re gravity.
I wonder if the blowgun demonstration in which students blew a large marble through a big tube to demonstrate other gravitational laws would have also warranted interdiction.

I've read where chemists have admitted that the reason they went into chemistry was because the chem sets they got for christmas in the 50's and 60's had stuff that went boom. That stuff has been gone for some 30+ years, and we've gotten fewer native-born Chem Phd's as a result.

Our keepers are so intent on removing any risk they deem unnecessary or unacceptable, they will remove the interest in doing science or doing engineering, so there goes the lead America has had for 100+ years.

Can you even get a chemistry set that goes boom anymore?

It is a woman's world now where safety is more important than liberty even if that means that boys don't ever become men.

This crappe will continue until it starts to cost those administrators major pain (as in dollars, jobs, etc.) They clearly have absolutely no shame, so pointing out their idiocy has no effect.
