The Daily Redundancy - Metro Archives - Dyslexic Student Expelled Over Toy Gnu

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.
 
confiscated AND destroyed? wow. fuck you, stuck up CT bitches :)
 
That's awesome. :D I wouldn't put it past a school to actually do that nowadays.

Like the school with the ban on hugging.
 
I remember getting suspended from school for holding hands.
 
I don't know the meanings to words with more than 5 syllables.
 
I'm sure everyone gets it. It's just that we're trying to figure out if it's real or not since schools have done such rediculous(sp?) things before...

Eh...judging from the responses, I'm not so sure. Check out some of the other articles from that website though, I think it's pretty clearly fake news...
 
It's fake....



E said it. Pseudojournalism.
