I am sure a very large law suite to follow.
WTH? School says deaf boy's name sign looks too much like a gun
Brace yourselves, because this is the dumbest thing you'll hear all day. The Grand Island (Neb.) school district is forcing a 3-year-old deaf boy to change the way he signs his name, because they say his gestures violate their weapons policy. Preschooler Hunter Spanjer's personalized name sign is a registered sign with Signing Exact English -- a modified form of American Sign Language -- and involves extended index fingers that the district says resembles a gun. (And that sound you just heard was our heads exploding from all the stupid.) "We are working with the parents to come to the best solution we can for the child," a school spokesperson said. Um, how about letting him keep his own name?

IIRC, there was a nation in history that once a decree was passed, it could not be undone. This sounds a lot like the Chaldeans.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Sure preschool but the school doing the complaining is not a preschool.
If it is public school, he is probably enrolled in a Head Start program. Being handicapped, he probably qualified.
OK with no kids in school I go off the way it used to be.
They should switch to a laptop.

I'm surprised they don't charge his parents with child abuse for naming the kid "Hunter." Or beat him with rubber hoses until the name changes.
That was the first thing that crossed my mind.
