Well, it appears we have another installment in the never-ending saga of \u201cstupid overreaction tricks\u201d concerning guns.\u00a0 This one comes to us courtesy of a school in Arizona.<\/p>\n

Poston Butte High School\u00a0in Florence, AZ, issues its students laptop computers.\u00a0 Since these are school property, the school mandates that they not be used for \u201csending or displaying offensive messages or pictures.\u201d\u00a0 Students also cannot send, create, forward, or access pictures that are \u201charassing, threatening, or illegal.\u201d<\/p>\n

This policy recently got a young man in trouble.\u00a0 A freshman student downloaded the picture of an AK-47 lying on what appears to be the flag of the Former Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia.\u00a0 He liked the picture and made that his Windows wallpaper background.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it.\u00a0 No depiction of shooting, no threatening or obscene message, no picture of anyone getting shot or shot at, no “blood and guts”.\u00a0 Just a photo of a static display consisting of a former Communist state\u2019s flag with the iconic weapon of the Soviet era lying on it.<\/p>\n

A teacher saw the “scary photo” – and turned the youngster in.\u00a0 The school initially suspended the young man for 3 days for violating \u201cschool policy\u201d regarding laptop use for using the photo as his Windows wallpaper.\u00a0 When pressed, they later shortened his suspension to one day.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not kidding.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the article<\/a> \u2013 along with a video showing the \u201cscary and threatening photo\u201d in question.<\/p>\n

Apparently they hire idiots with no common sense to work at Poston Butte High School.\u00a0 Sheesh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
