Why? This is one school - and I've heard of tons of others who have started all sorts of "support the troops" campaigns.
But .. If there are conservative parents who find out about this - there will be hell to pay.
For the life of me, I cannot see why they got upset. If they cannot handle mere students in make-believe warpaint how in the world do they they they could do ANYTHING???? Uh, folks, next time you visit a school and this it being pulled, start commenting on the make-up, costumes, wether or not they're being realistic...ect..ect...ect... And they speak on the subject you came to speak on!! These children were play acting and the adults actually gave them some attention????My Gosh.
