Six-year-old illegally suspended for playing cops and robbers at recess!
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (PNN) - September 8, 2023 - Last week, a first-grade student at Bagley Elementary School in Jefferson County, Alabama, was illegally suspended for pretending his fingers were shaped like a gun while playing with another student at recess. The boy’s father, Jarrod Belcher, quickly pushed back on the Class III suspension, which is considered the most serious by the school system and which prohibits the student from returning to school grounds until a conference is held. Typically, violations such as arson, assault with a weapon, selling drugs, and bomb threats are reserved for this type of disciplinary action.
