A six-year-old girl expelled for bringing a clear plastic gun to class will be allowed to return to school.

Sumter County Schools Superintendent Dr. Randolph Bynum said Thursday afternoon that he would vacate a decision to remove Naomi McKinney from school.

McKinney had brought plastic gun to Alice Drive Elementary school earlier this month for show and tell. An Sumter Police Department incident report states the item is an Airsoft gun that shoots plastic pellets, but that the gun was not operational. In the report, it states there were visible BBs inside.

I'm glad the school board learned from their mistake.

I still feel badly for the little girl, but from what I saw of her father's interview yesterday, I believe she will be guided through this well.

Well, here's one for the sanity team. These suspensions and warnings for plastic and paper are absurd.
