[+/-] First grader suspended because mom won't spank him

Unbelievable:

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. A six-year-old boy has been suspended from a Christian school in Illinois after his mother refused to spank him.

That's according to the mother. Michelle Fallaw-Gabrielson says her son had been piling up disciplinary notes for such offenses as talking out of turn, chewing gum, and bringing toys to school.

She says she knew he was a disciplinary problem, but she never anticipated what occurred on Wednesday. She says when she arrived at Schaumburg Christian School to pick the boy up, an assistant administrator ordered her to spank him. When she refused, the official said her son was suspended.

The next day, the mother withdrew the first-grader from the school.

Yet another example of how the "christian" fundamentalists are out of touch with human needs. Talking out of turn? Chewing gum? Holy cow, if this doesn't stop it might lead to independent thought!
