A 3-year old kid simulates a gun when using his hands to spell his name via sign language. His school has a huge problem with it. The
Huffington Post article states:
"Hunter Spanjer uses the standard S.E.E., Signing Exact English. He crosses his index and middle fingers and waves them slightly to signify his name. And, Grand Island Public Schools' policy forbids any "instrument" that "looks like a weapon," reported NCN."
Are we to the point with zero tolerance that a 3-year old gets punished for spelling his name using sign language? Now this kid has to change how he spells his name or risk being disciplined by this Nebraska school.
This zero tolerance stuff is ridiculous. There's always an exception to the rule. Always! First, it was kids being suspended for bringing a
plastic fork weapon to eat lunch and now deaf kids need to either learn how to speak or change the spelling of their names?
In the words of Jack Nicholson's Joker character from Batman, "This
town country needs an enema!"
Does "Zero Tolerence" equal "Zero Intelligence?"
