Awww come on now Rhode island...You really want to ban this?

Still, he's in second grade and it was sort of for a project. In 10 years, he'd look back on that picture and smile--personally, I would. Sure the hat is tacky and I would never wear it, but I don't see anything wrong with that kid wearing it.

And the fact that it was dealt with in this manner is stupid. I totally agree with Kevin.

I am not understanding why people missed that part. My school also had "hat day" when I was his age.

Personally, I find it tacky in the fact that I wouldn't wear it on a normal day...

If I had the same project (in any grade, honestly), you better believe I would have streamers and fireworks and whatever other patriotic thing I could think of and I'd be happy with it. Depending on the age, I'm sure my mother would help me and let me run with my idea as much as possible.

Letting your imagination run wild is one of the best parts of being a kid.

Same here. We weren't allowed to wear hats inside of any building. I still can't wear a hat in my parents' house. :P I think this day may have been an exception, though... not sure.
