Libtarded Teachers Run Amok in Providence, RI School—Ban Patriotic Hat with Armed Plastic Army Figures

You know, back when I was a schoolkid, we used to bring cap guns and pocket knives to school.  Not only that, but we would take great delight in drawing all sorts of horrific stick-figure army action sequences all over our notebooks while trapped in the classroom as a monotone teacher droned on and on about some inane thing or other.  We took great pride in our works of art; the more ghastly and terrifying the panoramic battle sequences, all the more wonderful and thrilling it was for us.

Guess what?  I’m still alive and haven’t gone on a mass-murdering spree at the mall.  Neither have any of my old classmates.

In fact, millions of kids have grown up this way and still have not gone “postal” on anyone.  Therefore, there is no freakin’ way on God’s green Earth that a kid gluing plastic army figures onto his hat is going to lead to a mass shooting at school or something.  Nor is this in any way indicative of a psychopathic killer; it’s just what young kids do.

So, given the preponderance of contrary, real world evidence flying in the face of Libtards, one does wonder why they  have a zero-tolerance level when it comes to children playing with toy guns or plastic army figures.

Well, long story short, Libtards know that if they demonize guns in any way, shape, or form, children will grow up thinking guns are inherently evil (and not the criminals) and will therefore support restrictive gun control measures and outright bans.  Yes, that is the actual underlying intent behind banning “any concept of weapons in the school.”

Mom: R.I. School Bans 8-Year-Old Son’s Patriotic Hat With Army Figures

PROVIDENCE, R.I.

A Rhode Island mother says her 8-year-old son’s school would not let him wear a patriotic hat she says he designed for a project to honor Army troops because the school thought it was  inappropriate.

Christan Morales says her son David was assigned to make a crazy hat for his second grade class at the Tiogue School in Coventry, R.I. Morales said her son came up with an idea to glue small plastic Army figures to a camouflage hat with an American flag.

Morales said the principal at David’s school called her to say the hat wasn’t appropriate because it had guns, which violated a school ban on weapons and toy weapons.

“We don’t advocate having any concept of weapons in the school,” Kenneth DiPietro, superintendent of Coventry Public Schools, told FoxNews.com.

“(David’s) military theme was all welcomed. The only issue was the weapons displayed on the hat.”

DiPietro said the intent of the principal was to allow the child the full expression of depicting the theme, but to help him find a way to express it without the presentation of weapons. He said the principal decided there were alternative ways to represent his theme.

“The principal’s concern was not the theme, not the patriotism and not the soldiers,” said DiPietro. “She worked with family to come up with alternatives so the child’s rights and patriotism was protected.”

Christan Morales has not returned FoxNews.com’s request for comment.

After the incident, David’s father requested a copy of Coventry Public Schools’ zero-tolerance policy for weapons and depictions of weapons, DiPietro said.

DiPietro said the school hopes to learn from this incident and spend time deciding whether there should be a different strategy for handling such issues in the future.
