JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It's long been a controversial topic: kids getting suspended for bringing toys to school.
The issue is back in the headlines after a high school student was suspended for bringing a squirt gun to class in Lewiston, Maine.

The student was reportedly suspended for 10 days after a yellow squirt gun (pictured above) fell out of his backpack while he was in school.
10 day suspension is the school policy on firearms, real or otherwise.
Many people accused the school superintendent of taking the water gun too serious.
He said he can't comment on the case specifically until the parents sign a release, but called the school policy fair.
Now, he was able to say that while this toy gun in particular looks innocent, it could have been used in a disruptive way, and could have also lead to other students bringing in toy pistols that don't look so benign.
In 2013, a seven-year-old boy was suspended in Maryland after chewing a pop tart into the shape of a handgun.
