Eight-year-old suspended over key-ring 

An eight-year-old schoolboy in the US has been suspended for taking a 
gun-shaped key-ring into class.

Education chiefs in Green Bay, Wisconsin said the student was suspended for a 
day because he breached their ban on carrying replica firearms. The key-ring 
is about an inch-and-a-half in length.

The boy's mother said she would appeal against the ruling in an attempt to 
have it removed from his record.

She told The Green Bay News-Chronicle: "It's a key chain. I think it's a 
little extreme. How far will this policy go?"

Her son was apparently showing the plastic toy to his classmates when one of 
them told their teacher about it.
