A three-year-old who is deaf uses a special, registered sign for his name. His school has declared that it imitates a gun and thus violates their weapons policy.
Source (http://www.1011now.com/home/headlines/Grand-Island-Preschooler-Forbidden-Sign-Language-for-His-Own-Name-167394325.html)
Hunter Spanjer says his name with a certain special hand gesture, but at just three and a half years old, he may have to change it.
"He's deaf, and his name sign, they say, is a violation of their weapons policy," explained Hunter's father, Brian Spanjer.
Could this be considered a violation of his 1st Amendment, as it is his method of speech?
What's the word I'm looking for? "Libtards" anyone?

Excelling at the art of mental masturbation. This is why the schools system is so screwed up, more time trying to figure out what cannot be done, during the school day then academics.
Classsssssssssss in a traditional cheech & chong way.

This PC shi- is getting way out of hand. Let's go back about 50 - 60 years and have the same old standards/ethics that we had way back then. [Bang]
the kid is 3 and a half. WTF is wrong with these fucking idiots. not only do kids play cowboys and indians, soldiers, GI joes, shooting games, participate in REAL shooting, there is even an OLYMPIC EVENT where people use real guns....yet these fucking morons let a deaf kid know he can't "speak" his name.....what is next, kids named Hunter who are not deaf are not allowed to say or hear their name?
The stupid in this world is astounding. Whoever made that decision should be cleaning up fresh cow shit with their tongue.

I really hope none of those administrators ever point at anything with their hands while they're at work. It would be a damn shame if someone tackled and detained one of them for suggesting violence with a firearm with their hand gestures.

Actually, that very 'gesture' resulted in a group of 6 10-year-olds being suspended from Dry Creek Elementary School right here in the Denver metro area a few years ago.
Article here -> http://rense.com/general25/zero.htm
CENTENNIAL, Colo. - When Nepata Godec received a call from Dry Creek Elementary School last month telling her that her son and his friends were being sent home from school, she prepared herself for the worst. "I thought somebody was in the hospital or something," said Mrs. Godec. But she was even more shocked when she discovered the real reason. It turned out 10-year-old Aaron Godec and six other fourth-grade boys were being suspended for the rest of the day for pointing their fingers like guns during a game of army-and-aliens on the playground. "So I thought, 'Yes? Then what? Did somebody fall or poke somebody in the eye?'" she said. "But that was it, and we needed to come to school to pick up our son. I couldn't believe it." That wasn't all. As the stunned parents later discovered, the principal, Darci Mickle, also quizzed the boys on whether their families owned guns. For 10-year-old Connor Andrew, whose father formerly worked as a licensed hunting guide, the question placed him in an impossible position. He had been warned not to discuss his father's firearms in front of other children lest they become curious and ask to see them. Torn between obeying his parents and obeying the principal, he chose his parents. "I asked Connor about it, and he started to cry, and he told me he lied to Mrs. Mickle and answered 'no,'" said his father, Charles Andrew. "He was afraid he would get in more trouble, and that [the family] would get in trouble," Mr. Andrew said. Because Dry Creek is located about 20 miles from Columbine High School in the south Denver suburbs, it would be easy to dismiss what happened March 25 as an isolated incident, an extreme but understandable reaction from a community with reason to be paranoid. Easy, but wrong, because Colorado isn't alone. That day, the Dry Creek seven joined a growing fraternity of students across the nation who have learned the hard way about "zero tolerance." A popular stance for schools grappling with the specter of school shootings, drugs and alcohol abuse, the strict no-second-chances policy has resulted in maximum punishment, including detention, suspension, expulsion and even arrest, for what was once viewed as normal horseplay. School officials defend zero tolerance as an unfortunate but necessary reaction to increased demands for school safety. The decade-old policy generally goes hand in hand with anti-bullying programs that have become widespread across the country since the April 20, 1999, shooting at Columbine, which left 15 persons dead. At the Cherry Creek School District here, school officials insist the Dry Creek incident was handled properly. They maintain that the punishment was not a "suspension," although some of the parents say that is what the principal first told them. "School safety is the Cherry Creek School District's first concern and the primary concern of parents who entrust their children to our care every day," said district spokeswoman Tustin Amole. "Our handling of this incident is well within the boundaries of district policy and common sense."

I can see it now.......
School Administrator: I'm sorry Colt, but because you're named after a gun you can either be expelled, or we'll call you Todd for now on.
Young Student: But, but, I'm named for a young horse.
School Administrator: No Todd, you were named for a gun.
It can't really be all that wrong.... see...

I'm not one for frivolous law suits, but this kid's parents need to get an attorney and set the school district straight. I wonder what will happen when the ADA folks find out???
It reminds me of the scene in Roots when they keep asking Kunta Kinte what his name is and every time he replies "Kunta Kinte" they whip him and tell him his name is "Toby".
Frickin' libtards!!!

So who's gonna name their kid "Glock" now?
or get the initials "AK"
asoolt reefle jones has a nice ring to it
Cant wait to see these people go to court, and personally get sued for this crap, and watch the school system get sued for these kind of ideas, allowing complete idiots into the education system, etc. Disgusting

Actually- I have a friend I grew up with named Alex, his last name begins with a "K" and we have called him AK for about 15 years. Hell, I think even a teacher called him AK. It's also pretty funny, considering he's a pretty tall dude, I made a joke that if I don't need to reach something high up I just say when he is nearby: "I didn't even have to use my AK, today was a good day." [LOL]

Never put "reach" and "around" in the same sentence when talking about another dude.
Unless it's an old Navy story, then we understand.
