School confiscates boy's cupcakes because of toy soldier decorations

3/8/2013

A Michigan elementary school confiscated a kid’s cupcakes, because they were decorated with “armed” toy soldiers. Nine-year-old Hunter Fountain brought the treats to Schall Elementary for his birthday, but dad Casey told Fox News that school officials swiped the cakes "because the soldiers had guns" and were "insensitive" following the Sandy Hook shootings. Staff eventually removed the army men and allowed Hunter to eat with his friends, in what was clearly an excellent use of everybody’s time. So let that be a lesson to you kids. Don’t bring army-man cupcakes to school. And don’t even think about bringing any Bazooka Joe: Someone may vastly overreact. [Source]
