This is outrageous! I salute this fine young boy who was trying to honor our wonderful troops. Instead of punishing him this moronic principal should be commending the boy! Disgusting!

The only way to fix this is to vote out all of the existing school board and start over with people that have some freaking brains.

The education system in this country is pure poison.

Superintendent Kenneth R. Di Pietro said the principal told the family that the hat would be fine if David replaced the Army men holding weapons with ones that didn't have any.

"The issue for us was, can it be done in a way that didn't violate the zero-tolerance for weapons?"

If a tiny replica of a military weapon violates your "zero-tolerance for weapons" policy, then you need to fire everybody involved in the writing of the policy and get new writers to come up with a policy that actually encourages learning and education. Based on the Superintendant's assertion that the tiny toy soldiers with weapons caused a violation of the policy, then a model of a B24 or B25 or B27 of P51 or F47 that might be used in teaching about WWII would violate the policy. Or for that matter a battlefield replica with tiny figures to illustrate a revolutionary war battle or a civil war battle or even Custer's Last Stand would be a violation of the policy. Obviously, the board and the superintendant are TOO DAMN STUPID to be entrusted with the education of pets, let alone children.

The teacher who ratted the kid out is obviously mentally ill and should not be permitted to work near children.

because the toy soldiers were carrying tiny weapons.
Looks to me like the teachers are carrying tiny brains.

Yet another drooling, moronic educrat. We need to rid the system of them once and for all.

Can we shoot the teacher and administration that allowed this? Idiocy like this SHOULD be terminal.

I mean, seriously? A toy soldier with a gun!? *gasp*
What’s next? A police officer with a gun?
The next thing you know they might think that hunters might have guns, and from there it’s only a slippery slope until EVERYONE has guns!!
...AND THEN THERE WILL BE RIVERS OF BLOOD IN THE STREETS!

More liberal yankee crappity crap.

If I was the governor of SC I would put a ban on any more yankees moving to our clinging by Bibles, guns and the skin of our teeth Red State!

I wonder if any of their history books have pictures of Washington Crossing the Delaware or Washington at Valley Forge (probably not, he is praying).

Had these people been in charge when I was in elementary school I would have spent the rest of my life in a gulag.

Home school. Private school.

And target every school board member at the next election, specifically on this issue. Run yourself a slate.

I would start going through every school book and lodging a formal complaint if guns were pictured until the teacher/school/district backed down and issued an apology.

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.

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.
