Deaf child name change demand, an exercise in histrionics

From the Toronto Sun:

A Nebraska preschool is asking a three-year-old deaf boy to change his name because it violates the school board's weapons policy. Hunter Spanjer signs his first name by making what looks like shooting gestures with both hands. He crosses his fingers when he does it - a modification to show it's his proper name.

But the Grand Island Public Schools board says its "Weapons in Schools" policy bans "any instrument ... that looks like a weapon." The school wants him to change the sign, a request Hunter's family says is both unfair and silly. "Anybody that I have talked to thinks this is absolutely ridiculous. This is not threatening in any way," Hunter's grandmother Janet Logue told local news station 101

(L) Here is the offending gesture in a screen grab:

This is a three and a half year old child who is profoundly deaf and probably has more than enough to cope with even without the antics of imbecilic adults play-acting their morbid progressive fantasies.

It is completely inconceivable that anyone; even a liberal would really feel threatened by a hand gesture from an infant. They may claim to be, but in all seriousness; even they, are not that bloody mindedly stupid.

Even after watching the devastating effect of the finger pointing ‘gun play’ of John Ritter in the movie "Real Men;” nobody could seriously take this complaint as realistic.

Bullying, brain washing, and terrifying children seems to be par for the course in a post modernist education system desperately attempting to turn our kids into obedient little creatures of the state in preparation for their preconceived role in the new fascism of tomorrow. This nonsense is political correctness gone even madder than usual and is symptomatic of a problem, not a solution.
