School confiscates third-grader’s cupcakes decorated with toy soldiers

School confiscates third-grader’s cupcakes decorated with toy soldiers. “The mother of the student… told Fox News that the principal… called the cupcakes ‘insensitive’ in light of the recent shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School…” We think it’s proof of widespread cakeism among school employees and they should all be sent for sensitivity training to the nearest bakery.

  • Typical democrat-leftist non-sequitur logic: "...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."

    Principle is thinking: Some parents have (leftist) philosophy which I agree with, and this child's toy can (via lefty logic) possibly offend the sensibilities of such a great thinking. It must not be permitted. Any idea that challenges their world view must be banned!

    Outside of the bubble, some parents permit toy guns. Their point of view it not being represented at all. The democrat-leftists ONLY care about their own ideas, so they don't care if the toy-gun parents are offended.

    Until such idiots and their control-freak thinking are removed from positions of authority, schools will not improve in nature.

  • Actually I am surprised that they were allowed to bring cupcakes at all. Any classroom goodies got banned here years ago. Remember Room Mothers, and little holiday parties? Well apparently that 30 min 3-5 times a year interfered with the kids learning (retaining?) school subjects, so no go.

  • Actually, I'm surprised they didn't reject them because they weren't tofu cakes approved by the Moochelle Obama food police.

  • You can only display cupcakes with approved toppings only in "Dear Leader's" forwardly changed USSA.

    • They never will till the school systems are purged of the shitheads in charge. I would suggest we all mail her a bag of cheap old green plastic toys soldiers, and on the outside of the bag, in big black letters, attach a note that says BOOM!

  • If the cupcakes were decorated with a muslim crescent they wouldn't have said squat. Hell, they could have stuck a miniature dildo out of the top and they wouldn't have said jack!

  • Insensitive in light of the Sandy Hook shooting? Okay, then by that logic Mr. or Ms. Principal, I suspect you're anti-military.

    You're certainly anti-intellectual.

  • Just another feel good leftist who has no clue. This is exactly why the public schools system is going to shit, idiots like this one. This country spends more money on education than any other country, yet we get substandard results. It is time to hold those responsible for educating (not indoctrinating) responsible and force out those that do not measure up.
