School officials in a Chicago suburb are not thrilled with a state law passed last year requiring schools to post a "no gun" sticker featuring an Image of a handgun with a red slash through it.
Guns were already not allowed in schools before the law was passed, and now some school officials are worried the Image on the warning sign might send the wrong message.
One of my biggest concerns as a principal is safety and security, Tinley Park High School Principal Theresa Nolan told the Southtown Star. It is bothersome to have to post a sticker of a gun that says, Hey, folks, leave your guns at home.'

I would have appreciated something more subtle, yet still recognizable a logo, perhaps, not a gun, Nolan said.
How about printing out the word 'guns' in seven different languages?

No wonder are schools are not working with some one like this in charge.
To: Libloather
Let’s get a group together and go chase these idiots around with stickers. They are afraid of a sticker. We are doomed!

Hey, Principal Nolan; how confident are you that your students can read a sticker with just words?
To: Libloather
Translation: Our students are too stupid to realize a big red X through the picture of a gun means ‘no’.

Is there a special obnoxiousness test you have to pass to become a school administrator?

Yeah, that’s what’s important, you idiots.

state law passed last year requiring schools to post a "no gun" sticker featuring an Image of a handgun If these schools had taught their students to read, pictures wouldn't be needed.

I’m not comfortable with this either.
What if some student took the sticker off the wall and used the picture of the gun to threaten another child?

I feel a point has been missed somewhere.
To: Libloather
How about a picture of an L shaped pop tart?
Or a finger gun?
We are in deep trouble with school administators like this.

How about printing out the word 'guns' in seven different languages?Some enterprising left-wing trial lawyer could still be counted upon to sue the city for discriminating against the illiterate.
The fact is, it really doesn't matter any more what rules are imposed upon our failing urban public schools: a class of politically-protected professional thieves are running the show, and almost nothing they do has anything whatsoever to do with learning.

It is bothersome? Really? Fact is funnier and stranger than fiction. More proof that liberalism is a mental disease.

To the Neanderprogressives, a picture of a gun is just as deadly as a real gun.

This is wonderful! Now, I know that none of you would want to sport a T-Shirt that says "No Guns", but now that we have a legal way to have an image of a gun in a Chicago school, let's put it to our use!
Presenting ... The No No-Guns shirt!
