First grader with autism suspended for biting sandwich into shape of gun

A 6-year-old first grader with autism was suspended for biting his sandwich into the shape of a gun and pointing it at a classmate during lunch. His family claims the Fayette County school district disciplines him without adequately considering his disability, citing over 33 disciplinary actions since 2023, including 14 suspensions for incidents like using a water bottle as a gun. The family hired a former special education director to challenge the suspensions, while the district's superintendent stated they aim to work with parents but did not address the specific incident.
