Brickbat: Let Go of My Lego

|

Sheila Cruz says officials at Hyannis West Elementary School in Massachusetts reprimanded and threatened to suspend her 5-year-old son Joseph after he made a gun out of Legos. Barnstable Public Schools Superintendent Mary Czajkowski said the boy made other students uncomfortable. "The teacher and school principal acted in accordance with school and district policy," she said.
