School Reportedly Bans Superhero Lunchboxes Because Superheroes Are Too ‘Violent’ by KATHERINE TIMPF August 28, 2015
There was no actual violence on the offending lunchbox. A little girl named Laura was reportedly sent home from school with a note informing her parents that she could no longer bring her lunchbox to school because it had a picture of Wonder Woman on it and was therefore too violent. Note: There was absolutely no actual violence displayed on the lunchbox — just a picture of Wonder Woman holding the Lasso of Truth.
But apparently, even that image is just too graphic to be on school grounds: “The dress code we have established requests that the children not bring violent images into the building in any fashion – on their clothing (including shoes and socks), backpacks and lunch boxes,” reads a letter sent home to Laura’s parents, Daniel and Sarah, according to The Mary Sue. MORE P.C. CULTURE WHAT DOES THE MODERN MALLEABILITY OF GENDER AND RACE MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION? FYI: THE TERM 'BOYFRIEND JEANS' IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE PATRIARCHY A NEW FRONT IN THE ‘WAR ON WOMEN’ ”We have defined ‘violent characters’ as those who solve problems using violence. Superheroes certainly fall into that category,” it continued.

The story is so much better when you grasp that it’s the teaching institution (teachers/admins) that is offended/intimidated by the images on the lunchboxes.
Rise of the Eloi, think we’re past patient zero.
They should tell the school that it’s actually a Trans-female WW, and the lasso is just there for a recess-time bondage session with his newly gender-fluid partner Aquaman.
Bet they’d give the kid extra credit for bringing that...
So all images of the military, police, congress, all former presidents, nature including both the animal kingdom and the plant kingdom, carton characters, and gardeners are banned? What happens to a child who defies the lunch box ban? Violence perhaps?
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
You know it's bad when reality makes satire look normal.
Proof that the people who smoked bong hits through their college years are still partaking, and making policy to boot.
It’s a been a few years, but wasn’t one of Wonder Woman’s powers that her golden lasso could make bad guys tell the truth?
Turn her loose on DC.
Well, suppose the kid says she's not leaving? Surely the school wouldn't resort to any VIOLENT actions, involving VIOLENT characters to MAKE her leave would they? Everybody would just go home for the day, I assume.
Those things ARE dangerous weapons. Poke someone’s eyes out ...
If these commie morons would stop worrying about T-shirts and lunch boxes, maybe they could find some time to teach the kids something.
Can they bring a “Honeymooners” lunch box?
“To the moon, Alice!”
When I was in grade school during the Dark Ages, my pals and I were fans of “Twelve O’Clock High.”. We stuck our arms out and had dogfights during recess. Some of us drew pictures (in class!) of B-17s dropping bombs on Germany. Most of us turned out okay, and the ones who didn’t had other reasons for their fate. I would love to have a time machine and take these teachers back to those times and watch them wet their pants, have strokes, etc.
Gotta love a girl who’s arm doesn’t get tired.......(I think I had better not watch that any longer!)
Don’t forger brown paper bags are racist!
Parents need to become more involved at school board meetings. Tell them to get rid of these fool administrators, or they, the school members will be recalled and replaced.
Especially when they contain racist peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Lunch boxes emblazoned with a crucifix dunked upside down in a jar of urine or a naked man with a bullwhip protruding from his anus are OK.
As if these cloistered children don’t see VIOLENCE every day on the video box. Radicals beheading victims, Reporters being shot, and politicians breathing fired words at others. Wylie Coyote and the road runner must set their hair on fire!
