8-year-old threatened with expulsion for drawings [View all]
SCOTTSDALE, AZ (CBS5) -
A couple pulled their sons out of Scottsdale Country Day School last week because they said the headmaster threatened to expel their 8-year-old for drawing "highly disturbing" pictures.
"In this situation, it's actually the principal of the school who bullied the parents - so much that we couldn't even be safe in that environment," said Jeff, whose last name we're omitting to protect the identities of his children.
The three images in question depict a soldier, a ninja and a Star Wars character - possibilities for the 8-year-old's Halloween costume.
Each of the drawings show the character holding either a gun or a knife.

Many of the third-grader's other journal entries were about saving the earth and protecting humanity.
In one passage, he wrote he'd like the ability to stop an atom bomb and stop bullets.
But Jeff said the headmaster told him he couldn't guarantee the safety of other students with his son around.
