The stupid, it hurts

This has to be the dumbest application of "zero tolerance" weapons policies that I have ever heard.

A three year old deaf child signs his name, and the school district says that his hands look too much like a gun, so THEY ARE MAKING HIM CHANGE HIS NAME.

I think this is old (last year?) and that the school backed down.

It still makes me want to have another child and name him something like Glock.
