It's a real shame...
My daughter was fully educated before we turned her loose in the federal school system (we would not have done it living just anywhere though). She finishes up this year and participates in darn near everything, time allowing. Anyways, last night they had a play at school and in the play, they used an AR style airsoft gun as a prop! Get this, no one was injured, insulted or offended! I'll also add that most of the kids carry, <gasp> pocket knives AND no one cares... It's also expected that half the school is absent the first week of hunting season. One of the kids reads a prayer over the intercom every morning and at every sporting event.
Ah the joys of living in a county without it's head up it's ass.
