The woke mall Santa who rejected a boy’s request for a “Nerf gun” was relieved of his duties and another Santa delivered presents to the boy’s home. On Wednesday morning, Breitbart News reported the boy asked the woke Santa for a “Nerf gun,” only to be told “No guns.” Fox News noted that when the Santa said, “No guns,” the boy’s mother tried to clarify by stressing that her son wanted a “Nerf gun,” which is a toy. But the mall Santa stood his anti-gun ground, saying, “Nope, not even a Nerf gun’’:

A gun-grabbing Santa brought a little boy to tears in Illinois. The boy simply asked the Grinch posing as Jolly St. Nick for a nerf gun for Christmas. This Santa stepped out of his role and decided to make the boy feel bad about his Christmas wish. This was out of a scene from “A Christmas Story,” but even worse.

This new story takes the cake: a group of students from Chase Lake Elementary School in Edmonds, Washington, asked their teacher if they could bring Nerf guns to school. The teacher gave permission, but the school punished the children with suspension anyway. The students even had a perfectly legitimate reason to bring the guns to school; they wanted to fire foam darts 100 times as part of a probability experiment. The school...

Kindergartener Receives 10-Day Suspension for NERF Gun There’s nothing more innocuous than a NERF (Non-Expanding Recreational Foam) gun – right? Well, not if you’re an administrator at Duchesne Elementary School of Ferguson/Florissant School District in Missouri. Apparently, a toy gun that shoots foam-based projectiles presents a clear and present danger to students, faculty and staff. To clarify, on Monday, school officials meted out a 10-day suspension to a five-year-old who brought his NERF gun to class. That’s correct. 10 days for a NERF gun. The principal of the School, Katie Sanders sent a letter home to the parents explaining the...
