School Confiscates Cupcakes Decorated with Toy Soldiers

A Michigan elementary school is defending its decision to confiscate a third-graders batch of homemade cupcakes because the birthday treats were decorated with plastic green Army soldiers.

Casey Fountain told Fox News that the principal of his son’s elementary school called the cupcakes “insensitive” — in light of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

“It disgusted me,” he said. “It’s vile they lump true American heroes with psychopathic killers.”

Fountain’s wife made a batch of 30 chocolate cupcakes for their son Hunter’s classmates at Schall Elementary School in the town of Caro. The 9-year-old helped decorate the treats with plastic figurines representing World War Two soldiers.

The following morning Fountain said his wife delivered the cupcakes to the front office. The secretary complimented her on the decorations and then took the cakes to Hunter’s class.

“About 15 minutes later the school called my wife and told her the couldn’t serve the cupcakes because the soldiers had guns,” Fountain told Fox News. “My wife told them to remove the soldiers and serve the cupcakes anyway — and I believe she may have used more colorful language.”

The school complied and confiscated the soldiers — sending them home with Hunter in a bag.

“I was offended,” Fountain said. “I support our soldiers and what they stand for. These (plastic soldiers) are representations of World War Two soldiers – our greatest generation. If they aren’t allowed in our schools — who is?”

I played with toy soldiers when I was a kid, but we did not have school Nazis

How about hot cross buns? Even worse?

Of course. But I'm sure crescent rolls are ok :-)

Yes, stories like this involving guns or even something as
ambiguous as “gun shapes” are coming thick and fast.
And the more they happen, the more the impression is created
that WE are provoking THEM, and making it inevitable , as though this is something they HAVE to do.

We are seeing before our own eyes the surreptitious takeover of the education system. These indoctrinates were brainwashed a generation ago.

Across the country, these Fluffernutters are teaching children now.

And administering school systems...

That works both ways. Funny thing ... I have guns. Me and my kids shoot regularly. If they keep pushing this crap, they do need to be scared.

If they had decorated them with condoms and **** rings it would have been such a hit the school would have declared an annual day for it.

The school would’ve approved if the cupcakes had condoms on top instead.

Remove the cross, just like Methodist Seminary.

Then they can be happy with their Hot Buns.

  and told her the couldn’t serve the cupcakes because the soldiers had guns

  The tiny plastic guns don't actually fire, but since they look scary, they could be judged to be an 'assault weapon' by using Democrat logic. I think the mother should have served the cupcakes anyway by explaining that the tiny figures on the cakes were actually models of President Obama skeet shooting. Many school kids don't know that Obama goes shooting all the time.

“Our commitment is always to our children and creating a safe place for them to learn, grow and have respectful dialogues about their differences.”

She sure as hell wasn’t respectful of ONE specific point of view.

At least she had the good grace to allow little ‘Hunter’ to keep his name.

If mom could have anticipated this absurd reaction.....maybe she should have put some thought into the frosting. *That* would have confused them LOL
