After drawing a picture of a ninja and a soldier at school, an 8-year old student was threatened with expulsion by the headmaster. The headmaster found the pictures to be "violent and unacceptable", as he could not guarantee the safety of the other students.
The school handbook does state that, "Drawings that depict weapons" are grounds for expulsion.
The parents have taken their child from the school.

Student suicide leads to bullying allegations
Greenwich, CT
A tragic incident occurred a day after the first day of school at Greenwich High School. A 15-year old boy died of a self-inflicted gunshot from a shotgun.
The investigation thus far has revealed some indications on social media sites that he faced troubles. On Google+ he posted a picture of himself holding a knife to his eye, along with the words, ""Hey if I were to stab my eye out due to school caused insanity, who would miss me?"
Shortly after that he posted, ""I have chosen to go with 3 peoples advice and kill myself," he wrote July 7 after telling his friends on the network that he had swallowed pills. "I just wish it was faster."
