Making Ourselves Look Like Idiots

We're teaching children when we do stupid stuff like this, but it isn't what we think we're teaching them, and it isn't anything good:

For the rest of the semester, a Rutherford County elementary student has to eat lunch at the "silent table" for allegedly waving around a slice of pizza some say resembled a gun.

Nicholas Taylor attends David Youree Elementary School in Smyrna, about 30 miles southeast of Nashville.

School leaders say the 10-year-old threatened other students at his lunch table with a piece of pizza with bites out of it so it looked like a gun and when asked about it was initially not truthful.

I'm embarrassed to work in the same field as these idiots.
