[Namron] Must see this Article! Controversy of Yearbook Photoof Scadian in Garb!

[Matthias the Brewer]

Oh come on people.  Was I the only one who saw the GREAT BIG HONKING SWORD
over his shoulder?  I can't argue with the schools on this one.

 

What if he was dressed in camouflage utilities and had an AK-47 over his
shoulder and was a survivalist/militiaman?  Would THAT be ok?

 

That's the same thing, just in different eras.  

 

Had he dressed in period garb WITHOUT weapons, he wouldn't have had any
trouble.  The school has a no weapons no tolerance policy.  What does that
have to do with garb?  Nothing.  But that monster of a sword is a horse of a
different color.

I was appalled at the response that picture got on the aol boards.. out of
curiosity i went and looked at some of the responses to the pic on the
boards.. it ranged from calling the kid a moron, a freak, and a punk, to
saying the mom was irresponsible. I personally haven't been playing very
long in the SCA, but have enjoyed it immensly, and any child who would
rather come spend his weekends dressing in garb and enjoying himself with a
bunch of intresting and honorable people has a vote in my book!

Greetings all!

 

I saw this article over aol news, and opened it out of curiosity.  Turns out
it's a controversy of a young Scadian's yearbook photo.  They were concerned
it promoted violence...why?  Beacuse he was in GARB!

 

Anyway, look it over and post thoughts.  The debate should be interesting.
(And maybe we could write a few letters???)
