Hero Expelled, Gun Incident Raises Questions: School’s Actions Scrutinized
An 11-year-old Michigan student was expelled after disarming a classmate who brought a gun to school. Despite the boy’s actions, which his mother and a homeschooling support system praised as heroic, the school expelled him for one year, citing a thorough investigation and adherence to Michigan law regarding dangerous weapons on school property. School officials stated the expulsion was a last resort, necessary to ensure the safety of all students and staff. The mother disagrees with the decision and pleaded for her son’s reinstatement at a recent meeting.
