Toy Soldiers Banned in School

A student in Rhode Island wasn’t allowed to wear a camouflage hat to school, because he decked it out with toy soldiers – you know the type of toy soldiers that have been sold in this country for decades. The rational from the school reports The Associated Press was that the hat was banned “because it ran afoul of the district’s zero-tolerance weapons policy. Why? The toy soldiers were carrying tiny guns.”

Is this political correctness run amuck? We know that school officials need to draw the line somewhere, but either this year it was a toy plastic gun less than an inch long for one small boy, and now it is toy soldiers for another. This follows the peace grannies who want to see no “war toys” in any form. The sad part of all this is our understanding of history could be lost in the past, because like it or not war is part of our history and if you change that… we might not have a future.
