A boy makes a hat with plastic soldiers on it and
the school claims he has violated their "no weapons" policy.
David was assigned to make a hat last week for a project at the Tiogue School in Coventry. He chose a patriotic theme and glued plastic Army figures to a camouflage baseball cap. But school officials said the hat ran afoul of their no-weapons policy because the Army men held tiny guns.
You have to wonder about the quality of education going on in that district if the powers that be claim that a tiny piece of plastic, part of which is shaped similar to a gun, is the equivalent of a real weapon.
This is the second story about extremes in the lack of quality in education in Rhode Island. What's going on in that state?
