Got some feedback from my friend. Apparently the media is twisting this one around a bit (surprise surprise):
His reaction to the article:
"Too bad they left out the part where the kid used the
"gun" to shoot other students with a rubber band with
a paper clip attached."

Three students suspended, restated over paper gun
Associated Press
DeSOTO, Texas - A piece of paper folded to resemble a gun led to the brief suspension of three Dallas-area students.
DeSoto Independent School District officials later revoked the punishment.
All were suspended after eleven-year-old Destiny Thomas on Monday folded some computer paper to look like a gun.
The girl says another student at Amber Terrace Intermediate School had showed her how to fold the paper -- flat.
Thomas and two other students were suspended and ordered to attend an alternative school for 30 days.
The DeSoto student code says no weapons or replicas are allowed, but officials later reviewed the interpretation and dropped the punishment for the children.
Thomas says she knows not to take a real gun to school -- but she never thought a paper gun could get her in trouble."

One of my good friends is an assistant principal in Desoto. Have to get some background from him.
I remember as a kid making a paper gun in art class.
