Dyslexic student expelled for bringing toy gnu to class |
http://www.dailyredundancy.com/archives/1055.html
WATERBURY, CT--A fourth grade Oakville student has been expelled from a
Waterbury school for bringing a toy gnu onto the property. The action
falls under the school district's "zero tolerance" policy, according to
administrators. Officials believe the student, who is dyslexic, tried to
intentionally break the policy.
"We're convinced he intended to bring a toy gun." said Meredith Simmons,
Principal of Waterbury Elementary. "His reading disability may have
confused him about what is prohibited in the policy, but we can't take
any chances. That's why it's called zero tolerance."
The expulsion received full approval from the superintendent's office.
"We support Principal Simmons' decision." said Milton Decker, Assistant
Superintendent. "The toy gnu may seem harmless, but we can't ignore the
underlying intent. I seriously doubt any of our students even know what
a gnu is."
The student, who requested to remain amomynous, will be eligible for
admission next year following a psychological evaluation and sensitivity
training. The toy gnu was confiscated and destroyed by janitorial personnel.

What makes this funny, of course, is that it is so very close to real.
