- I can't believe someone would actually thank this principal for keeping our schools safe. Use some common sense. You must be the principle who did this! Get a grip on reality. Its a real shame when are kids go to school and are treated like terrorists. This principal is the true definition of whats wrong in todays society. We should spend more time praising our children rather than belittleing them. Sometimes as adults we are the ones that can be learning from our children. Last I would like to know how the comment the principal made about going from A's to the NRA would remotely be appropriate!

- ... and we wonder why America's public school system is failing our children. When a school is run by a complete moron, we should expect shortfalls in student achievement. Good Job Evelyn!! Way to make your school safe by terrorizing an innocent child !!! The principal is an absolute pathetic disgrace to humanity. She should be fired immediately.

- It is avious to see that the school is run by antigun freaks. When Ms. Mastroianni said to the kid's mother that he had gone from A's to NRA, it shows a clear antigun agenda. The NRA is a very old and well established orginazation in this county that is made up of millions of legal, honist gun owners concerned about gun safty and protecting our right to gun ownership. Something weak minded liberals can not understand.

- This is exactly the kind of principal that is responsible for traumatizing children and later on when they get bigger they strike out from all the seething anger they have been living with over trifles like this. This principal should be tranferred to work at an alternative school with real thugs and let her see what a plum job she had. She obviously is not married and has no children of her own (Thank God).

- I believe you owe a little boy and his family an apology. COMMON SENSE must not have been taught to you when you were in school, eh? Have you ever seen a 2" long real gun? Didn't think so. Why didn't you harass the little boy that had the Lego axe as well? Idiots

- It's quite obvious this principal and other people like her are completely ignorant about what a dangerous weapon or firearm is. Get a grip on it you morons!

- For all of you who are upset with the Principal and staff please take a look at: http://science.howstuffworks.com/smallest-gun-in-world1.htm
And if you would like to be educated on gun violence check out the F.B.I. magazines on converting toys and everyday items into real working guns.
I want thank the Principal for keeping our kids safe.

- This is ridiculous! This principal should be worried about educating children not confiscating toys that are clearly toys!

- if the school board had any common sense this principal should be out on the street barred from any interaction with children or schools.

- So glad my children don't go to a school with idiots like that in charge. The toy was 2 inches long, maybe the principal felt threatened because it was bigger than something the principal has?

- I just read about the little kid and his Lego toy. It's easy ti see why our country is in trouble when we have ignorant fools like you people running our schools.
