OA OnlineA Kermit parent said his fourth-grade student was suspended Friday for allegedly making a terroristic threat.
His father, Jason Steward, said the family had been to see “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” last weekend. His son brought a ring to his class at Kermit Elementary School and told another boy his magic ring could make the boy disappear.
Steward said the principal said threats to another child’s safety would not be tolerated – whether magical or not. Principal Roxanne Greer declined to comment on the matter.
“All student stuff is confidential,” Greer said. She referred a call from the Odessa American to Kermit ISD Superintendent Bill Boyd, who did not return a phone call.
Steward said he didn’t understand why his son was removed from school and why the district didn’t just send a letter home.
He said he requested that the school send him “something in writing” saying that the school suspended his son and why they suspended him. Steward was told the school would put the letter in the mail.
Steward said his son has attended Kermit Elementary since August. The 9-year-old has been in in-school suspension for referring to another student’s skin color and got in trouble for bringing a kids’ book about pregnancy to school.

Where the hell is Gandalf? Stupid wizard ain’t never around when you need him. That principle is either a commie or a fukkin retard. Probably both.
“Student stuff is confidential.” Stuff? What stuff? You mean records? What a wackjob.
“One wackjob to rule them all
One wackjob to find them
One wackjob to bring them all
and in the schoolyard bind them.”

Agreed.
When did ANYONE listen to the shit that comes out of a child’s mouth? Their like little retards with a chance of being normal one day.
It’s like a fourth grader is even capable of making a “Terrorisic Threat! Ouooooooooo! I’m scared, somebody save me!
“A Kermit parent said his fourth-grade student was suspended Friday for allegedly making a terroristic threat.”
Seriously? What was the threat?
“His son brought a ring to his class at Kermit Elementary School and told another boy his magic ring could make the boy disappear.”
SERIOUSLY???
For ANYTHING to be considered a threat, there has to AT LEAST be the POSSIBILITY of the threat being carried out.
Obviously, this is not even possible for the kid to accomplish.
Whoever is on board with and assisting in this massive stupidity needs to have a Louisville Slugger session to knock some common sense into them.

chair before class was gonna be called out that day!
Boy… what a time we had back then!Alex Newman
