It was banned because the soldiers were carrying "weapons" (assuming, of course, that the reason the school gave was true and honest). However, if I were this kid's teacher, I wouldn't have thought twice about it. Why is this the focus of attention when kids are bringing ACTUAL weapons into schools? The poor kid was probably excited about his hat (as I always was on hat day in elementary school, when I looked equally as dumb), and now he's become the focus of a ridiculous national news report.

And I'm sorry, but saying that they should have banned the hat because the weapons are sharp objects is ridiculous. Why don't we just ban pencils? And paper clips? And demand that toothpicks can never be used again for another school project!
You forgot knives for cutting glue...

@33girl.... aww come on now...green army men? Sharp? I have to pass the *rolling eyes* at you. Please tell me you aren't serious...hehehehe I think we all at some point have played with toy soldiers in our childhood and they are by far one of the least dangerous toys out there
