An 8 year-old Arizona student is thrown out of school because of his artwork, and his parents are outraged over the move.
The artwork shows a soldier and a zombie. It’s part of a journal entry titled, “Escaping a Killer Zombie,” and it goes on to read, in part: “I’d open the window…but stand back quickly… booby-trapped…shoot the gadget… a rope gun…I’d swing across without getting hit.”
The headmaster of Scottsdale Country Day School says the school’s handbook clearly explains that any drawings that depict weapons are grounds for expulsion.
The 8 year-old boy’s parents are now pulling their son from school, and say the inspiration for his so-called violent drawing came from his Halloween costume.
