School Says Deaf Boy's Name Sign Looks Too Much Like A Gun | (http://gopthedailydose.com/2013/06/02/school-says-deaf-boys-name-sign-looks-too-much-like-a-gun/)

There is a simple solution, all people in America should chop off their fingers.

[Sea Six]

I've been saying this for years.

They should lop Florida off the map. Looks too much like a gun.

Same with Maryland, Oklahoma, and Idaho (turn your head slanty-ways and look at it). Utah looks a little too much like a snub-nose .38 Special. Same with Alabama, and Mississippi.

While we're at it, North Carolina looks like something that could be used to poke somebody in the eye. And Michigan looks kind of like a can opener... any kid looking at the outline of Michigan could be influenced to start underage drinking.

Well, FL is America's wang and our liberals want to neuter this country. Hell, they've moved on to trying to castrate it. Next, the country will be listed as a member of the LGBT community if they get their wish.

Most of those problems could be fixed by changing the state borders to make them safer shapes. Florida however will need to be bulldozed into the sea.

And MA looks just like a BFG.

It seems like almost every day I read something like this and think to myself "well now I have seen it all. It can't get any more stupid" and yet every day I am proven wrong

I hope that doesn't happen as I will probably be moving there later this year.

Why?
I would think most people would be trying to leave

Are you ****ing insane? i know you'll **** just about anything but I didn't think you would go out of your way to screw yourself in that manner.

Wife's job. We went down there and really liked the area. Taxes will suck, but the beautiful weather compared to Seattle should be worth something.

The job fits what my wife is looking for and she has a friend that moved there about 7 years ago and he and his wife love it there.

Is the job worth the taxes and complete uber liberal bullshit you will have to endure?

[DJ_Critterus]

Hell?

[Knooger]

Where in Cali are you looking to move to ?

A little north of San Francisco.

We live in Washington State right now so we have some experience with living in a liberal state.

What about the insane state taxes?

[Knooger]

What about the insane state taxes?

Not looking forward to that, but we looked all over the US and there are pluses and minuses everywhere. We don't want to be in an area that gets real cold during the winter with lots of snow. Also, the job had to be right for my wife and northern California seemed to fit what we want.

[VatorMan]

Beautiful area. Marin county ? Expensive area there.

What type of work does she do?

[Knooger]

What type of work does she do?

General surgeon.

[DJ_Critterus]

General surgeon.

Oh. you got tons of money. Shouldn't be an issue until Obama(doesn't) care is fully implemented. *rofl*

[Sea Six]

Pfft.

I've been considering myself a general surgeon for years. Problem is, I can't find any patients willing to let me practice on them.

They'd really have a shet-fit nowadays if a kid bought this joker to school.

It's the Johnny Seven O.M.A. (One Man Army) gun and shit, a multi-function toy weapon produced by Deluxe Reading under their Topper Toys toyline, released in 1964.

Johnny Seven O.M.A. was the best selling boys' toy of 1964, and was marketed heavily on children's television. It has a unique number of features, including seven different actions (thus the "Seven" in the name). The toy is no longer made, and has become a collector's item.

Deaf preschooler Hunter Spanjer wins right to sign name after school says violates weapons policy

Hunter's parents weren't interested in a compromise, and were determined to fight for their son's right to sign his name.

The Facebook group titled "Let this Deaf Child Keep His Name Sign" quickly grew to over 9,000 members in support of little Hunter. A recent status update indicated that the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) had been contacted about the case.

Howard Rosenblum, CEO of the National Association of the Deaf, told the Huffington Post that his organization would assist the Spanjers with legal action if necessary. "A name sign is the equivalent of a person's name, and to prohibit a name sign is to prohibit a person's name," he wrote in an email.

Grand Island Public Schools (GIPS) was inundated with angry phone calls and emails from both concerned community residents and strangers across the country.

The Spanjers won their fight.

"Grand Island Public Schools is not requiring any current student with a hearing impairment to change his or her sign language name," a statement released from the school board on Tuesday said.

The statement also included the following, making it clear that the district teaches American Sign Language (ASL), not Signing Exact English (SEE) which Hunter uses when signing his name:

"The school district teaches American Sign Language ("ASL") for students with hearing impairments. ASL is recommended by the Nebraska Department of Education and is widely used in the United States. The sign language techniques taught in the school district are consistent with the standards of the Nebraska Department of Education and ASL."

At least Hunter can keep his name.

"The encouragement and support is amazing," Brian told KOLN. "It's been more than I could have asked for and it's been extremely helpful."

The ACLU is still involved in the case.
