If this is true then it may be the dumbest thing I've heard since.... oh...... Saturday.

Here's the contact info I could find for that school district.

Jennifer Worthington
School Board President

I'd say its worth a civilly worded inquiry from as many people as possible.

I'm actually not all that shocked or surprised, "the left" has been trying to brainwash our youth to literally pee in their pants trembling in fear at the mere thought of anything that remotely resembles a firearm.

So this over-reactionary type thing is right up that alley so to speak.

What are they gonna do when a kid comes to school with a birth defect and only had a pointer finger and a thumb? Cut of another finger? I mean really!!!

This country is increasingly filled with the brainwashed leading the brainwashed like lemmings off the cliff of insanity...

If I was that kid's parent I would tell the school district to go straight to Hell. Yep, that was pretty dumb.

Says a lot about our "education/endoctrination" system.

There are threads already discussing this back from when the article was written in late 2012.  If I recall correctly the schools final position was to let the boy to continue to sign his name the way he always has.

That fact that it was even an issue to begin with was the problem.

I didn't realize it was old news, guess I should have checked the date on the article. It just popped up from shooters depot Facebook page today. My apologies.

"I would like to show that school some universal sign language" made me chuckle
