A hearing examiner affirmed the suspension of an Anne Arundel County boy who chewed his breakfast pastry into the shape of a gun in what many have come to know as “the Pop-Tart case.”
In a 30-page opinion, hearing examiner Andrew W. Nussbaum supported a principal’s assertion that the suspension was based on a history of problems, not the pastry episode. “The evidence is clear that suspension is used as a last resort,” Nussbaum wrote.
The boy’s family asked to have his school records cleared of the incident, which occurred early last year, when he was 7 years old and in second grade. The findings and recommendation will go to the county Board of Education for a decision.

ReplyDelete8:33 If your child has a cap gun, they would probably deem it as "child abuse", and remove your child from your home. I wouldn't put it past these whack balls.
ReplyDeleteAndrew W. Nussbaum is the same clown that represents and defends John Fredericksen. I rest my case.
ReplyDeleteStand by this case may affect other cases in Wicomico County.
All this family has to do is file an appeal.
I guess Mom's should stop making heart or star shaped toast, pancakes, etc. Has that principal never nibbled a piece of toast or pastry into a play shape? What idiots. Great waste of taxpayer money.
