Seven-Year-Old Suspended for Imaginary Grenade

School administrators aren't pretending; they're really idiots

LOVELAND, Colo. — A 2nd grader has been suspended from school in Loveland for a make believe game he was playing.

The 7-year-old says he was trying to save the world. But school administrators say he broke a key rule during his pretend play.

"I was trying to save people and I just can't believe I got dispended," says Alex Evans, who doesn't understand his suspension any better than he can pronounce it.

"It's called 'rescue the world,'" he says.

He was playing a game during recess at Loveland's Mary Blair Elementary School and threw an imaginary grenade into a box with pretend evil forces inside.
