Ridiculous. Who thought banning SUPERHEROES from a SCHOOL was a good idea?

 

[jokesonm3]

Every kid dreams of being a Superhero, i remember when i was little i use to grab a piece of square paper fold it from the top right to the bottom left into a triangle shape, draw an 'S' on it, tape it to my blue shirt, gab a towel like a cape pretend to be the man of steel himself, Superman!

Banning kids from liking Superheroes is just plain ridiculous.

 

[Duke]

This is just utterly pathetic.

"Hey, your little girl is carrying a lunchbox with the image of an iconic archetype of female empowerment! Let's just take that away from her, shall we? We wouldn't want her to aspire to anything more than the mundane and bland."

- the message they are really sending

 

[Teelie]

Hey now, they're progressive. They ban all superheroes regardless of gender.

But it’s not just this particular superhero that the school has it in for – they don’t allow any superheroes to be worn on clothing, backpacks or lunchboxes of the children.

that is asinine. like the rest of world doesnt usually solve problems with violence! at least Superman tells luthor i think you should surrender before kicking his ass!
this is kinda like the episode of Mighty Mouse was pulled because it was perceived he was snorting coke!
oh well......i still got my Xmen lunchbox!

 

[Teelie]

Also Superman and I believe Wonder Woman, don't kill either. It does have me wondering, would a lunchbox with a gun (like a Deer or Duck Hunter image) also be banned or would they expel the student for bringing a "gun" to school?

The images on that lunchbox are anything but violent. "Bringing violence into the school". Lol.

 

[jokesonm3]

I'm guessing that the Principle is a Marvel fan.

 

[Guts]

The images on the lunch box is just way to violent. It gave me nightmares.

This is my favorite pet peeve: Zero Tolerance at work.

 

[Lencho01]

Lame.

 

[KevanG]

To be fair, it was probably handed down from on high from the school board to try and stop shootings or something equally stupid.

 

[tzarinna]

Oh, lawd. I just sent my son off with a shark backpack. I suppose I should expect some craziness as well.

 

[Lily Adler]

Too sexy or sexual in nature, they could POSSIBLY have a case, but violent? No.

C'mon guys, remember all those studies that clearly prove that comic book nerds are the most violent members of society.

[Micromind]

I wonder what that school would think of Angry Birds lunch box

I thought it was video games players ....

 

[KevanG]

Jeez. That was in the 90's. Pay attention Xavier.

 

[Immortalfire]

I had a Masters of the Universe lunchbox. I dare them to ban that!

 

[KevanG]

I still have my old Jurassic Park lunchbox.

 

[SomeOldGuy]

Jeez. That was in the 90's. Pay attention Xavier.

Eh, you're all pikers compared to us devil-worshiping D&D players from the 70s. t:
