Apparently we live in a country where you can’t even play make believe anymore. Nine-year-old Aiden Steward of Kermit, Texas, has been suspended for making “terrorist threats” against a kid after watching The Hobbit and telling another student he had a ring that could make the kid disappear. Steward’s father is understandably perplexed:
“Kids act out movies that they see. When I watched Superman as a kid, I went outside and tried to fly,” he said. “I assure you my son lacks the magical powers necessary to threaten his friend’s existence,” he added. “If he did, I’m sure he’d bring him right back.”
Not exactly sure how this is connected to terrorism, but that’s one of many of our questions in this matter.
Team Blackness also discussed a Power Ranger who killed his roommate with a sword, a teacher fired for teaching too much black history, and how people not vaccinating their kids is leading to a measles outbreak.
