All it takes is one look around the school to see that there may be a problem with that logic, considering that the school mascot is seen carrying a sword.
Career day photo of soldier with gun puts school district in a bind.
There's a video at KATU TV's website.
If only they had banned photographs of soldiers at Jeff Weise's school. Then nothing bad would have happened.
Only if he's gay...
That masoct looks a lot like a European Crusader.
Is still amazing to think that this country won World War II. Now we get scared at the picture of a gun.
Well it seems like a no brainer to a rational person. A Marine is supposed to carry a weapon, it's part of the job. I wonder if they would have a problem with a photo of an armed police officer.
Yup.
Once again, political correctness runs amuck.
Absolutely. It shows our soldiers ready to stand and defend our country.
If they're going to ban a photo of an armed Marine, they should also ban the "Massachusetts Quarters" that show an armed Minuteman on the reverse.
Why not just put a condom on the end of the gun...Libs love those things.
Here in NYC we have actual military and SWAT teams, some with assault weapons, at various points throughout the city and it doesn't seem to have adversely impacted the children -- they are just as stupid as they always have been.
Why not?
They risk their lives for us.
I bet the school admin didn't realize that until it was pointed out to them. That'll be next to go.

Of course it should be posted.
Sword? That's only the "tip"of the problem---Ol'Mac there has his complete battle dress on possibly including underwear, and he has his shield which means he expects to take some crap as well as dish it out. So he needs to be completely re-dressed anyway especially considering Salem's playoff record which sucks and would indicate something in pink might be more appropriate. The Richardson chick has no idea what she's started and might be in training for ambassador to Pakiland? Would she hand out wanted posters if they didn't have pics of guns?
If you need a marine, you don't need an unarmed one.
Did these dad-blasted imbeciles go through their library and censor all the books, too?
Or were they good little Nazis and they just BURNED the books?
If it were legal to bash their heads in with a baseball bat you still couldn't beat any sense into these idiots.
