If Paul Revere were to do that today, the police would arreste him, claiming he was creating a public disturbance!

Based on your list of school concerns it seems that if the horse had been wearing a condom there wouldn’t have been any issues.If the horse had just been GAY....

You are all missing the point. It isn’t a live animal or deadly weapon. It is the fact that he dressed in medieval garb, like a CRUSADER. He might have offended some Moslems.

You would die if you lived down south. Senior week down here is nuts.....riding a horse to school would be considered tame.

The only reason not to ask is if you think there is something wrong with it. I can't believe you (you!) typed that.

Most likely, this was all about the liability.
So, on one hand, the student can have a little fun. On the other hand, some other student starts having a sneezing attack, decides they are allergic to horses, and sues the school. Terrified of lawsuits, the school district agrees to settle for $75,000, instead of going to trial, and fires the principal.
Some lawyer gets $70,000 of the settlement, and every student has to take a mandatory class in “why horses are bad.”
The words “fun” and “school” are no longer found in the same sentence, unless a lawsuit is involved. And you know who to blame.

If a school committee were asked why deer, cows and horses all eat the same thing yet produce different droppings. I bet you would find out that they don’t know sh#t.

Golly, look at the picture.
Loopy leftwing posters at the fox site are attempting to insist that it wasn’t really about the horse as the school told the young man, but about the sword - only, as we see - there was no sword.
Maybe they meant the spoon?
no, wait, there is no spoon.

Maybe if the horse had been wearing a disguise, the school would have thought he was just another student?

The only reason not to ask is if you think there is something wrong with it. No, I don't agree. The only reason to ~ask~ is if you think there might be something wrong with it. I'm pretty sure it never would have occurred to me to ask permission for something so completely harmless.

The kid was just trying to bring the horse’s head count and the horse’s ass count a bit closer to parity, percentage wise.

He should tell them he is a recent convert to the Amish lifestyle, They would have to acquit him on the religious freedom grounds.
