(KMOV) A 13-year-old boy who drew a stick figure holding a gun and another holding two knives was suspended from his North Carolina middle school.
The boy’s father, James Herring, said he can’t believe his son received a two-day suspension earlier this month for what he calls a harmless picture.
“[He’s] just expressing himself, nothing violent,” Herring told WRAL. “I drew pictures like this…any other person of his age drew pictures like this. It’s nothing to get expelled from school for.”
