In the latest incident of anti-gun hysteria to erupt in a school setting, officials at an elementary school in small-town Michigan impounded a third-grader boy’s batch of 30 homemade birthday cupcakes because they were adorned with green plastic figurines representing World War Two soldiers.
The school principal branded the military-themed cupcakes “insensitive” in light of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, reports Fox News Radio.
“It disgusted me,” Casey Fountain, the boy’s father, told Fox News. “It’s vile they lump true American heroes with psychopathic killers.”
Fountain explained that his wife had made the cupcakes. His son, Hunter, helped decorate them. The following morning, Fountain’s wife brought the taboo treats to the school’s front office, where the secretary reportedly remarked favorably on their appearance.
“About 15 minutes later the school called my wife and told her they couldn’t serve the cupcakes because the soldiers had guns,” Fountain told Fox News. “My wife told them to remove the soldiers and serve the cupcakes anyway — and I believe she may have used more colorful language.”
“We’re just taking political correctness too far,” the angry father added.
In a statement to local media, Schall Elementary School principal Susan Wright Susan Wright doubled down on her school’s bold stand against little green men that represent American soldiers.
“These are toys that were commonplace in the past,” Wright said. “However, some parents prohibit all guns as toys. In light of that difference, the school offered to replace the soldiers with another item and the soldiers were returned home with the student.”
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
Another tempest in a teapot. TeaBaggers seem to have a need to be victims, even when they are victims of a trivial CupCake War.

No, actually. We are just sick of the yoke of oppression you criminal traitors have thrown about our once-free and reasonable nation. Sic temper tyrannis. Keep building your death camps and detention centers, just don't be so sure about who will end up in them.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
I'm not a teabagger. I'm just not in favor of spending our hard earned money on hiring dumbbells to teach future generations. It sounds like something that would happen in some hellhole like North Korea. My father fought heroically in World War II. Now we want to censor what these brave men did, in America? What a bunch of mental defectives. Right up there with the lunch-from-home inspecting crowd. Schools don't own children. They are free Americans by birthright, that's why the schools exist, because it is these kids' right as citizens to get a free education. People forget that. The child is the citizen with the entitlement. If Obama hates guns so much, why are we still sending young men into combat in Iraq and Afghanistan? What was that all about in Benghazi? Yeah, Bush sent the troops in, but at least he didn't pretend that all soldiers, all cops, any man with a gun is an automatic hero with more rights than the citizenry, and then turn around and start kicking the citizenry who exercise their rights.
