February 16, 2019A New Jersey Elementary School was set to enter the American Legion’s coloring contest.
They’ve now decided to back out, because the coloring sheet HONORING VETERANS included TERRIBLE HORRIBLE GUNS.
*GAAAAAASP*
Take a look for yourself:
Wow. Service members have GUNS?! THAT CANNOT BE, OMG.
*Insert eye roll here*
Facing intense backlash, a New Jersey elementary school reversed a decision to not take part in an American Legion coloring contest due to an”inappropriate” image.
Within hours of announcing the decision not to participate, angry reactions caused the school superintendent to “pause” and reconsider.
Glen Rock’s American Legion post was initially told by school officials that students would not be participating in the annual contest because of an “administrative” decision brought about by the offending image: a coloring page featuring American soldiers armed with guns, NorthJersey.com reported.
And CLEARLY this is OFFENSIVE because GUNS ARE ALWAYS BAD. Even when they’re protecting OUR FREEDOMS.
FFS.
According to NorthJersey.com
This year’s coloring page features the “Four Pillars of the American Legion,” embodied in four service members and a banner recognizing the centennial of the veterans service organization. Three uniformed soldiers from 1919, 1965 and 2019, carrying guns from their respective eras, are pictured, along with a nurse from 1941. The page also contains the POW/MIA logo and a “battlefield cross,” a rifle stuck upward in the ground alongside a soldier’s boots and helmet.
The president of the Board of Education eventually explained the ridiculous reason for the decision.
“The administration had asked if they could be provided with a different picture,” Sharon Scarpelli said. “They were concerned over the display of guns in the picture.”
SO OFFENSIVE. OMG.
The school, realized they’ve made A COMPLETE AND UTTER MOCKERY OF THEMSELVES, has now reversed the decision.
That decision was district-wide, according to Superintendent Bruce Watson who subsequently sent out a late-night statement reversing the move.
“This has caused me to pause,” the statement, sent by spokeswoman Angela Crawford, read, according to NorthJersey.com.
“Perhaps I had too much concern for the impact of the picture. Today we look at everything thru a different lens when it comes to our students,” the statement continued. “There was no disrespect intended and now after listening to parents, I will reverse this decision and allow the pictures to go home for parents and students to decide if they wish to compete.”
It’s all getting so ridiculous.
