Student Suspended For Pop-Tart Gun, Josh Welch, Files Appeal With Maryland County School System
An attorney for an Anne Arundel County 7-year-old suspended from school for nibbling a breakfast pastry into the shape of a pistol is seeking to have the student's record expunged, and said he plans to appeal to Maryland's highest court if necessary.
"This kid was just as imaginative and is just as adventurous as Steve Jobs was at the age of 7," said Robin Ficker, a Montgomery County attorney who has been hired by the student's father, J.B. Welch, to represent the family in the appeal.
"It would be funny if it wasn't so serious as it being on his record."
