Remington, Colt and Luger;
A Nebraska preschool is asking a three-year-old deaf boy to change his name because it violates the school board's weapons policy.
We need a famine.

Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Well,at least he didn't draw a picture of a gun!
My nephew's son is named Hunter,I'll have to inform him that the child's name has to be changed,right quick!
Parent: "Sorry? Which part of 'piss off' was unclear?"
Fire them all.
meh, it's only a violation of the freedom of expression. Nothing to see here. They haven't come for my name...
YET!
But, but think of the children...
Alas, what a sign of the times.
So now it's come to state-paid bullies picking on a little deaf kid.
I say we fire everyone in education and start from scratch.
Say "Hello" to my leetle fren!
You really have to attend these school board meetings, if you want to exact change.
Which part of Ka-Boom don't you understand...?
Send in the NRA! That should sort them out.
So when Frank Zappa named his son "Moon Unit" he should have called him "LEM - Lunar Excursion Module" instead. Maybe that would interfere with the school's jet propulsion policy.
Bring back Neil Armstrong brandishing a sidearm.
Charlton Heston's film "Touch of Evil" would also be banned because the film industry 'SHOOTS' movies!
So if the child were named "Forrest" would these idiots be lost in the trees?

"We need a famine."
Islamists chopping off the heads of politically-correct Liberals in the streets might be more efficient.
God can answer prayer in mysterious ways...
;)
Yes a famine is needed. That said I hate the way parents use their kids to push a political agenda.
""Weapons in Schools" policy bans "any instrument ... that looks like a weapon.""
Guess that means no pictures of Rosie O'Donnell or Heather Mallick.
Is everyone in the education system out of their friggin minds? What if a kid that can speak has the name Gunn? Are they going to take a dump on him? There is a bit of difference between a name and an actual gun.
Does a 5 year old picking his nose indicate a suicide attempt there? What a bunch of maroons.
What I hate about these sorts of things is that the people involved in enforcing such stupidity never get fired for incompetence. Complete dismissal of the idiots involved would be a suitable resolution in this case, but it isn't going to happen so the mad march off the politically correct cliff will continue.
Stupid parents should have named the kid "Harvey Milk". What the hell were they thinking?
Banking has attracted the nation's thieves and gangsters.
And education has attracted the nation's abusive bullies.
If you never made it all the way up to swing shift manager of a Taco Belle to boss around and intimidate teenagers, then becoming a school administrator to bully 3-year olds is next best.
Teachers abusive bullies?....yep that's been my experience...with a few exceptions.
I have what could be termed a double name....and had to literally fight to use my full name rather than have to endure one of those "cuitsey" short forms....
I recall one teacher who got right upset when I hit him back...then he met my old man....and a buncha parents, who took exception to the slap happy teacher...once they heard about it.
Those folks were not the sort that complained to the school board...if ya catch my drift. It was a much different time....
After his re-education, the teacher in question even resorted to please/thankyou and addressing his class by Mr./Miss/or Sir.
What can you say in the face of this rising lunacy? The people who perpetuate this are stone cold crazy.
Does this mean today's kids can't watch old reruns of Roy Rogers 'cause his horse was named Trigger?
I remember a few years back when some f*cked up group wanted to rewrite Mark Twain's books because they found the 19th century vernacular objectionable.
My dad, who's not old enough to collect CPP, used to bring his .22 to school for rabbits on the walk home, and told me that whenever someone got a new rifle they would bring it to show off. This would have been in the 60's. What we have now can't be called progress.
Political correctness meets the Americans with Disabilities Act.
He could change it to "serialK"... maybe that'd make 'em happier....
If the boys first or last name was Diesel they could blame him for glowbull warming and the death of the polar bears.
Yes, something must be done immediately.
I suggest renaming the tyke either Samuel Colt Spanjer, Hiram Stevens Maxim Spanjer, John Moses Browning Spanjer, Peter Paul Mauser Spanjer, William Batterman Ruger Spanjer or Lee Enfield Spanjer.
Also, I suggest voting out the entire school board and replacing them with people with common sense. These people have control of what your child is exposed to for a third of their waking hours. Hitler and Stalin both knew the importance of shaping young minds.
I'm thinkin' there must be a whole lotta inbreedin' on the school board. Maybe too many first cousins. Nothing else could explain that level of stupidity.
northernont is right, we allow people like this, who are probably escapees from certain facilities in Moose Jaw, Sk,to be elected to these positions when we do not attend the school board meetings until a crisis develops. I have been at many school board and municipal public meetings where the board members and council members outnumber the public. Most of the public that does show up are the lefty activists who support the sort of nonsense that occurred in the above mentioned school.
God help, in our apathy we are loosing our liberal democratic system so fast it is almost unbelievable.
Hayak was so right in so many ways.

What a group of disgusting gutless individuals.
They are what makes America suck.

Stupid name, stupid policy.
Moving on.
I wish it were that easy Osumashi...
One way of dealing with such absolutely insane policies is the technique of reductio ad absurdum. Anyone who has done any martial arts training knows that the environment is full of improvised weapons. The schools prohibit anything that "looks like a weapon" which means chairs are out because they can be picked up and used as very effective weapons. Pencils are out because there was a recent local case where one prisoner shoved a pencil deep into another prisoners brain through his eye socket during a fight at the jail. Desks are out because they can also be picked up and used as weapons.
The net result of this would be every student encased in a straightjacket kept alone in a padded room to protect themselves for the profusion of weapons in the environment. (one can't forget hands and feet).
Last time I got asked by an obnoxious customs official about whether I was "bringing any weapons into the country?" I replied that I was; my feet hands and tongue. Might be why I was send to the secondary inspection line.
There are a bunch of people on this planet who deserve a high-5...
...in the face
...with a shovel.
Just a note... one of the board member's last name is "Harms". I guess that one slipped by the goalie. So... in that case... abort him.
Good thing you didn't reference little loki...or not...
Indeed, absurd reductionism at its finest.
Famine fits in nicely.
Would it help, if they nickname him Bo?
They'd love it if he signed some sort of obscene fornication gesture or smoking some crack.
good thing his name's not mike hunt...;-)
The purpose of a public education is to produce compliant citizens. Once again, the lesson learned is not what the teacher intended.
Public schools are rapidly becoming organized child abuse.
Oh, please, it's not as if any of you voted in your last school board election. You talk, but you don't vote.
Gee Mack ... thanks for telling us all what we do and do not.
Brian M, Aug. 28: these days, a kid picking his nose indicates a cosmetic surgery attempt...
