I've made this point before, what they are doing to school kids that show interest in guns is negative reinforcement conditioning. Wear a t-shirt with a gun on it... suspended. Chew a pop tart into the shape of a gun... suspended. Play finger guns at recess... Expelled because you are going to grow up to be Hitler 2.0. Basically they have a shock collar around every kids neck in America and if they get out of line they hit the shock button.
They are using dog training tactics on the American people. Some are negative reinforcement and some are positive reinforcement training. An example of positive would be voting for democrats and getting welfare/food stamps/free college in exchange.

I don't have kids but if I did and want got suspended for that that's when you follow up with positive reenforcement. Tell the kid to treat it as a vacation. Try to keep them up on school. Tell them that its important to fight the system some times.

I'm sorry but, when someone can vote for free stuff its no longer voting its selling out. And before you blah blah about repubs and their corporate welfare, most that vote Republican want that shit gone as much as anyone else. We just get stuck with a choice between shit show A and shit show B only one wants to take away rights and in my view that's no choice at all. If the blacks, Mexicans, and the poor would constantly stop voting for freebies maybe we could have a good candidate.
