A Nation of Cowards: Schools Are Now Afraid Of Pictures Of Guns

BearingArms: Lewis County is one of the least populated and most rural counties in New York, and has a strong outdoor tradition of hunting and fishing. Recently a 2nd grader in the tiny Lewis County town of Watson (population, 1,881 in 2010) was told that his Christmas tree project would not be put on display with that of other students because he decorated it pictures of bows, a bolt-action rifle, an over/under shotgun, a trio of pistols, and spent brass for ornaments.

Jerry Ward, the student’s father explains, “We as a family hunt, fish, trap and love the outdoors. Both my daughter and son attend the Lowville Academy and Central School, as did I and all of my family. When my father was in school they had a rife shooting team.

  1. I have to go to several schools in the course of a year for my work. I’ve often wondered what would happen if I would drop a subscription postcard from any of the gun magazines in the hallway of the school.
    Probably major lockdown.

  2. So now the poor boy will be traumatized because his creation isn’t the only one on display. The teachers and administrators are mean-spirited, evil hags who must be afraid of their own shadows.

    This is very disturbing. They will indulge and coddle these wimpy – assed snowflakes, but they will slap down an authentic, gutsy little boy who is obviously being raised by his parents to be a real man and not some Pajama Boy type.

    His parents should sue the school district.
