Ohio Student Suspended for Brandishing ‘Level 2 Lookalike Firearm’: His Finger

A ten-year-old Ohio boy was suspended from school after a teacher caught him brandishing a “level 2 lookalike firearm.” What lookalike firearm was this, you ask? Well, Nathan Entingh got in trouble after he pretended to use his finger as a gun. Yep, his finger.

The principal for the Devonshire Alternative Elementary School has reportedly warned students about using “pretend guns” before, though Entingh claims that other students caught doing the same thing weren’t suspended for three days like he was.

His father said they could have just given him detention or an in-school suspension, but to suspend him for that length of time is just “very excessive for what he had done.”

This is not the first time a student has been suspended for making a finger gun, a six-year-old was suspended from school last year for doing the same thing. And on two separate occasions last year, young students were suspended for pretending their pencils were guns.
