troops, for an assignment to decorate a hat in his second-grade class at
Tiogue School in Coventry, R.I. School officials told him he could not
wear the cap he decorated, saying it violated the district’s no-weapons
policy because the toy soldiers were carrying tiny weapons. (AP

But the school banned the hat because it ran afoul of the district’s
zero-tolerance weapons policy. Why? The toy soldiers were carrying tiny
guns.

“His teacher called and said it wasn’t appropriate,” Morales said.

Morales’ 8-year-old son, David, had been assigned to make a hat for the
day when his second-grade class would meet their pen pals from another
school. She and her son came up with an idea to add patriotic
decorations to a camouflage hat.
