Debate celebrity Ken Bone says school suspended his son over gun picture
Ken Bone, the Shiloh man made famous by asking a question during a 2016 presidential debate in a bright red sweater, is again in the spotlight after saying on Twitter that his son was suspended for a photo that Bone had shared on social media just a few days before.
The original tweet, shared on Monday, was in response to tweets sent by Kyle Kashuv, a survivor of the shooting massacre at a Parkland, Fla., high school and a gun rights supporter. Bone said that when he saw Kashuv getting grief for sharing a photo of himself at a gun range, Bone wanted to send a message of solidarity.
