Cupcakes being confescated because of plastic army men

idk if you've read the article about this or not,but that it was just plain stupid.

Teachers confescated a little boy's birthday cupcakes because they had green plastic army men on them.

my question is why?why confescate cupcakes because of army men on them?
were the army men alive and opening fire on everyone?no,duh.they're plastic,they're not gonna hurt anyone.

Sayeth whaaat?

You might want to provide a bit more info', since this is extraordinarily vague, and I don't think many people are likely to have heard about it.

Black holes suck.

Well....the boy's dad was in the military,so the boy was just honoring his father by putting "his dad" on his birthday cupcakes.

The teachers thought the soldiers on his cupcakes would promote violence.what were the teachers thinking? were they thinking "OMG,he brought toy soldiers!!that means he's planning on setting off a bomb!"? seriusly?it would have been one thing if all the cupcakes had toy knives on em',but it's another for them to take away cupcakes that were HONORING his father.

Sayeth whaaat?

Schools are SO strict when it comes to that stuff. My teacher gave me an F on an essay because "One of the Ls looked like a gun".

I'm back, I guess. Whatever.

LOL. HA.

I loves me some Quesadillas.

Not the first dumb "VIOLENT STUFF IN SCHOOL OMGOMG" thing that happened.
A while back, a 2nd grader was questioned for hours after threatening to shoot a fellow student…

Schools are notoriously, unnecessarily strict on some things. Political correctness in school form.

You like me, and I, like you, like me.

It'd be hilarious if a school's security systems blew up a school. Talk about irony.

I'm back, I guess. Whatever.

99% of the things she's saying to you she said to me before, so don't feel so special.

What about the kid that got kicked out of school for his poptart shaped gun? XD

That sounds hilarious.

I'm back, I guess. Whatever.

Recently a California elementary school organised a Saturday event allowing students to trade in toy guns for books and to be entered in a bicycle raffle.

Catch my drift.

Yea because "buks r dum...#YOLO #SWAG"

Your makeup is terrible, but I love you anyway.

We should ban Florida. It looks like a gun.

I know my apprehensions might never be allayed. And so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written...

I'm as old as the world.

Remember! Life is an illusion! The world is a hologram! Buy Gold!

That was dumb of the teacher. He clearly wasn't promoting war, he was honoring his father who was in the war. Why are people so.. I don't know.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who know binary and those who don't.

Wow. They aren't even that strict at MY school.
