A Georgia family says its 6-year-old son with autism was suspended from school after biting his sandwich into the shape of a gun and pretending to point it at another student during lunch, an incident the parents argue reflects a broader pattern of discipline that failed to take the child’s disability into account, according to Atlanta News First. The family says the first grader at Sara Harp Minter Elementary School in Fayette County has repeatedly faced disciplinary action despite having an individualized education program, or IEP, designed to address his needs, The Daily Mail reported.
