Toy soldiers run afoul of school's weapons ban
The Associated Press ^ | June 17, 2010 | MICHELLE R. SMITH

Christan Morales says her son just wanted to honor American troops when he made a hat decorated with an American flag and small plastic Army figures.

But the hat ran afoul of the district's no-weapons policy because the toy soldiers were carrying tiny weapons.

"His teacher called and said it wasn't appropriate because it had guns," Morales said.

Hey, Ms. Morales, your kid is 8 years old. Prepare to put up with this zero tolerance crap until he is 18 years old or you’re smart enough to remove him from the care of these pathetic idiots.

And we wonder why our country is losing its competitive edge.

If you click on the keyword “zerotolerance,” you will find links to hundreds of similar cases from just about every state in the Union, and from urban, suburban, and rural schools alike. Why are so many of our nation’s educators so lacking in common sense?

Man, I hope there aren’t any photos in the history books that include weapons. Someone might get killed, you know.

One of the many reasons we homeschool. The school boards find it easier to make and enforce “zero tolerance policies” than to make individual judgment calls. No wonder they can’t teach kids to make informed judgment calls either. Don’t learn to think for yourself. Just fill out this multiple choice test.

If I got that call from my kid’s teacher, I would have broken out in fits of hysterical laughter and handed the phone to my wife to deal with.

“Part of the plan to “woosify” American boys.”

You should read, “Wild at Heart” by John Eldridge. I’m about half way through and it is amazingly spot on regarding this issue.

Yeah, those damn yankees are at fault! Cuz everyone south of the Mason-Dixon is a conservative!

Yep, the problem isn`t ideology, it`s regionalism! It`s not like Conservatives like Ronald Reagan would be from the north! lol

Not only this, but they told him he could wear his hat if he glued Army men on there that were not holding weapons. HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED WITH ARMY MEN YOU DOLTS? I have. They are all holding weapons, except maybe the dead guys.

It’s easier than you might think to get conservatives on school boards. Once they get there, it’s harder than you can ever imagine to change things for the better.

You are certainly making a lot of unwarranted assumptions about me.

All the major proponents of gun control are in the north east.

The most liberal politicians come from the north east.

It should be easy enough to figure out, even for a mental midget like you, that it's the damn yankees with their north east liberalism/socialism/communism that's ruining the country.

So, yes, it's regionalism because your POS region of the country is ruining the rest of us:

Hey - stop with those pesky facts!

Shame so many here have such a propensity to eat their own; they don't have the foresight to realize they won't like the taste of what's left when they're done
