The mother of a high school senior who posed in chain mail with a medieval sword for his yearbook picture sued after the school rejected the photo because of its zero-tolerance policy against weapons.
Patrick Agin, 17, belongs to the Society for Creative Anachronism, an international organization that researches and recreates medieval history. He submitted the photo in September for the Portsmouth High School yearbook.
Then what of American and World History textbooks in Providence, R.I. high schools? What of internet sites that show pictures and images of weapons? Are they to ban and/or censor those things? After all, warfare is a pretty big element of the historical sciences. I shouldn’t joke about that, because the libs are liable to do just that.
