Help me decide if I should be offended. High schooler wears WWII Captain America costume to movie theme spirit day, gets in trouble.

Apparently, it's the ammo belt and helmet that were the issue.

I'll tell you honestly, if a kid dressed as the Terminator or something similar, he shouldn't be allowed at school. So where do you draw the line? Maybe they shouldn't have a movie themed spirit day.

Cap uses an ammo belt? -- nm - Znufrii Feb 12, 09:44 4
- From the WW days. Canteen, compass, etc. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 09:47 2
  - Ah, missed that part - Znufrii Feb 12, 09:49 1
    - yeah, it is more of a cosplay costume than one you wear to school. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 09:57
- it is not really an ammo belt, more like Batman's utility belt. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 09:45
cultural oppression, bruh -- nm* - mr plow Feb 12, 09:23
No. I think it sounds like everything was handled well. I think the sister's "outrage" is ridiculous. - JaxSean Feb 12, 09:15
They're a bunch of pantywastes and I'm not just saying that as a Cap fan. - The Death Sceire Feb 12, 09:13
With as many school shootings as there have been I'm less and less critical of admins who reject combat gear likenesses -- nm - Max Feb 12, 09:13 1
- (but don't set the kids up for failure by inviting them to wear costume and not provide a 10 page list of prohibited items) -- nm - Max Feb 12, 09:23
OK, maybe take the belt away, but why the helmet???? -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 09:12 2
- Didn't you watch The Flash this week? - Spawn Feb 12, 09:19 1
  - Twice! -- nm - amoxy Feb 12, 09:21
You should go and burn the school down. That'll teach them. -- nm - spamlet Feb 12, 09:07
Sounds like he would have gotten in trouble even if he had worn an Elsa costume -- nm - amoxy Feb 12, 09:07
the kid should be flogged -- nm - decline Feb 12, 09:05
Ammo belt but no weapon? Eh. -- nm - mara Feb 12, 09:05 5
- this is what i think. and i have no idea what the problem with the helmet is. -- nm - Andie Feb 12, 09:06 3
  - Pretty sure the school officials never saw the first Cap movie. The outfit to them seems more soldier than Cap and maybe they do not like soldiers? -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 09:10 2
    - okay, but, in a country that glorifies your armed forces (which is neither good nor bad), someone as a soldier-superhero *without a weapon* is a prett - Andie Feb 12, 09:12 1
      - Most schools ban all kinds of weapons and hints of weapons. In these times if I were in the hall and I saw him, my first thought would be school - Spawn Feb 12, 09:18
- Guns don't kill people, bullets do. -- nm - LMS Feb 12, 09:06
It is on the Internet. Of course you should be offended -- nm - oblique Feb 12, 09:05 1
- I am offended by this. -- nm - Mop Feb 12, 09:07
