Student Suspended For Drawing Gun
5-Day Suspension Cut To 3 Days

QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. -- A 13-year-old student who drew a picture of a gun on his homework at Payne Junior High School in Queen Creek was initially suspended for at least five days, but his father was able to slash it to three days.

The Mosteller family moved to Chandler from Colorado Springs only four weeks ago, but it's not the kind of greeting Paula Mosteller said she was expecting.

Her 13-year-old son was suspended from school because he drew a picture of a gun on homework.


"My son is a very good boy," Mosteller said.

"He doesn't get into trouble. There was nothing on the paper that would signify that it was a threat of any form," she said.

The principal at Payne Junior High School kept the actual drawing.

The picture was enough to get him suspended, initially, for five days.

"He was just basically doodling and not thinking a lot about it," Mosteller said.

CBS 5 News tried to get more details from the Chandler Unified School District but were told, "Federal privacy law forbids the school or district from discussing student discipline."

"We're not advocates for guns," Mosteller said.

SURVEY: What Do You Think?

"We don't have guns in our home. We don't promote the use of guns. My son was just basically doodling on a piece of paper," she said.

After the father went to the school and talked to the principal, the suspension was trimmed to three days.






CBS 5 News investigated the rules students must follow while at school. There's nothing in a portion of the student handbook that addresses conduct to indicate the drawing of a weapon poses threat.

There is a rule that says students should not engage in "Threatening an educational institution by interference with or disruption of the school."

Looks like a spaceship with happy alien faces to me.

This is just the typical demonizing of firearms and self-defence in general that the socialists are trying to push on children. The intention is to make them scared little wimps who are reliant on the state for protection.

Funny how they want kids to learn about gays, lesbians and muslim-nazis but good ol' American guns are a no-no.

I wonder if they've removed pictures of guns from our history books yet, we're supposed to teach kids that we defeated the British by giving them group hugs and roasting marsh mellows over a camp fire.

I got into trouble in the 8th grade for writing an essay about how the NYC Council should run mugger shooting safaris in the NY Subway.

The teachers really hated the part about stuffing & mounting the 'trophies'.

lmao, classic. I would hate for my teachers to have seen what my notebook looked like in school, all I did was draw sketches of marines and soldiers with guns out of boredom. Of course that wasn't really an issue until Columbine happened, nowadays you can't even wear a trench coat to school (and they do come in handy in the winter) anymore out of fear that you maybe carrying weapons or whatnot.

Rifle target practice and archery was a cousre you could take when my Father was in middle school.

Could you imagine how that would go down with liberal teachers today?

  I wore a Tzahal T-shirt to school once and my JEWISH math teacher told me I had to turn it inside out.  So I drew up a big sign in red ink that said "CENSORED" and stuck it on there.

That would be SOME contest for the biggest fool. A self-hating Jew or a guilt-ridden liberal goy.
