I agree that the "finger-gun" was inappropriate behavior in school because of the obvious implications.

I disagree about the suspension for a year as punishment. Maybe if he had brought into school a real gun or even a toy gun and pointed it at a student, the suspension would have been warranted to that extent.

What is being done to "de-program" this student to convince him that violence is never the correct response to being angered, disturbed, or just bullying?
