9 year old kid brings GI Joe sized toy gun to school. Mistake, against the rules. How big of a deal does anyone need to make of that?

The school made it a big deal by bringing suspension into it instead of just reminding the kid.

The parent made it a big deal by taking it to the press.

Stupid all around...

Common sense did not prevail. The only one allowed to be stupid is a 9 year old kid. And how do you think a school should deal with a kid who makes a mistake? Zero tolerance says toy gun, suspension, but forgot homework, remember next time kid OK? Which one makes sense?
