I just saw this on Yahoo news. Ya beat me too it, Falcon!
Over the years, I had thought that I had seen just about everything there was to see, and get highly agitated about, PC Zero Tolerance.
Well, I was wrong.
School asks deaf preschooler to change his sign language name
Quote:
Three-and-a-half year old Hunter Spanjer, who is deaf, signs his name by crossing his forefinger and index finger and moving his hand up and down.
To his family, friends and those who know the Signing Exact English (S.E.E.) language that the Grand Island, Neb., boy uses, that gesture uniquely means "Hunter Spanjer."

It seems that the school thinks this is some kind of facsimile of a gun (there is a video attached to the news report) and therefore the 3 1/2 yr. old child must change his sign!
We all knew that Zero Tolerance and PC was running amok... But this just has to take the cake.
