A Michigan elementary school is defending its decision to confiscate a third-graders batch of homemade cupcakes because the birthday treats were decorated with plastic green Army soldiers.
Casey Fountain tells me that the principal of his son's elementary school called the cupcakes "insensitive" -- in light of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
"It disgusted me," he said. "It's vile they lump true American heroes with psychopathic killers."
Fountain's wife made a batch of 30 chocolate cupcakes for their son Hunter's classmates at Schall Elementary School in the town of Caro. The 9-year-old helped decorate the treats with plastic figurines representing World War Two soldiers.
The following morning Fountain said his wife delivered the cupcakes to the front office. The secretary complimented her on the decorations and then took the cakes to Hunter's class.
"About 15 minutes later the school called my wife and told her the couldn't serve the cupcakes because the soldiers had guns," Fountain said. "My wife told them to remove the soldiers and serve the cupcakes anyway -- and I believe she may have used more colorful language."
The school complied and confiscated the soldiers -- sending them home with Hunter in a bag.
"I was offended," Fountain said. "I support our soldiers and what they stand for. These (plastic soldiers) are representations of World War Two soldiers - our greatest generation. If they aren't allowed in our schools -- who is?"
Principal Susan Wright released a statement to local media defending the decision.
"These are toys that were commonplace in the past," she wrote. "However, some parents prohibit all guns as toys. In light of that difference, the school offered to replace the soldiers with another item and the soldiers were returned home with the student."
"Living in a democratic society entails respect for opposing opinions," she stated. "In the climate of recent events in schools we walk a delicate balance in teaching non-violence in our buildings and trying to ensure a safe, peaceful atmosphere."
Fountain said it was beyond outrageous to compare American soldiers to deranged mass murderers.
And all those teachers who lack COMMON SENSE should be fired. The principals as well.
Exactly...You have to accept diverse opinions as long as those opinions agree with the liberals....
Teacher unions forbid firing teachers as well as forbidding students an education....
Those are assault cupcakes and there is simply no way anyone should be allowed to own one of those.
Why can't everyone see it my way and back some common sense cupcake laws?
How can these liberals even keep a straight face when claiming, “It’s all for the children...”
Cupcake distribution should require a background check and a one week waiting period...
I don’t get it. Theirs no way this has anything to do with this thread.
*LOL*
But, if it was a private *sale/distribution* between private parties do those cupcakes need a background check?
When I went over they’re, I found they had already ridden there motorcycles away. Someone standing their said that they went back to there homes.
He was using sign language and one of the signs looked like he was making a shooting image.
That his name was Hunter was icing on the cake.
*ROFL* That’s good.......
But of course...and their (they’re, there) homes need to be searched at least once a year....
And there are 30 of them.
Why should they have more than two?
Two is sufficient.
Take my cupcake from my cold dead hands.
The school was a "Cupcake Free Zone".
The cupcake owners cannot legally have cupcake pans with high capacity holders...No more than 6 cupcakes to a pan...They can’t use highly dangerous squeeze frosting decorators...They have to purchase the aerosol cans of frosting from the gov’mint.....
Was the sale interstate or intrastate?
We need UN verification on this sale?
Geneva sanctions. ACLU protests.
Will there be strong sanctions against this child and his parents?
May I borrow?
They would be immediately replaced with the same brand of Marxist/queer/feminist-nazi/ whole word/ new math/enviro-wackos.
Please remember that the colleges of education are stuffed to the brim with Marxist/queer/feminazi/whole-word/new-math/enviro-wackos and the indoctrination of generations of teachers ( with the lowest SAT scores on campus) continues.
The only reform that would do any good is to collapse the entire system of K-12, socialist-funded, single-payer, and GODLESS schools. If conservatives and Christians would remove their children there are counties and states where the entire system of socialist-entitlement K-12 schooling would IMPLODE!
Will this happen? I hope so. Just last week Glenn Beck spend about 15 minutes urging his listeners to immediately remove their kids from the government's K-12 socialist-entitlement, single-payer, and GODLESS schools.
