We used to draw mushroom clouds in elementary schools in the early 1960’s.

I can only imagine what the artistic subjects we had as elementary students would garner in today’s screwels....

And not a single one of my classmates ever shot anyone else...

...and P51s and Spitfires engaging in aerial combat with ME109s complete with fiery, bloody crashes...

As the boy's father said:

"...I think that we really send our children the wrong message when we show, as adults, we’re so afraid of our shadow that an innocent picture that any eight-year-old might have drawn is cause for this kind of concern..."

THAT is the real concern. What a pathetic, pu$$ified charter school.

If I was a parent involved with this school then I’d look beyond the principal’s critique of the drawings and do the following. I’d question everything that the school is teaching the students for possible socialist indoctrination.

And in the late 60's they ate them. :-)

We used to draw mushroom clouds in elementary schools in the early 1960’s.

...and artillery, tanks, & machineguns; gunfighters; fanciful knife & gun designs...while having a Scout knife in our pockets...and much more.

Ditto. Half the boy’s 3rd grade book covers in the late 60’s were decorated with hand drawn WWII battle scenes, dive bombers, tanks and mushroom clouds.
