Matthew Miele's October 30th Facebook status summed it up, though it was hard to believe: "Make Believe Bow + Arrow = 3 Day Suspension."
According to Miele, his 6-year-old son, Malachi, was playing "Power Rangers" with friends at his school recess the day before when Malachi pretended to shoot some of them with an imaginary bow and arrow.
After another student reported Malachi's pretend play to a teacher, Principal Joe Crachiolo at Our Lady of Lourdes School in Westwood, Ohio determined Malachi's play to be "serious behavior" that "threatened the commitment to the educational process," according to a letter that Miele posted on Facebook.
