I'd wait for that Rent-a-cop to get off duty and then straighten him out, on the pavement preferably.

If nobody was offended by his uniform, I wonder what is the big deal to wear that uniform to his daughter's school?

Obviously, the school overreacted! What a shame!

Who cares if they were offended?

They can get over it.

Not discrimination but pure Liberalism completely out of control.

Firstly, the guard was just wrong...and it was not for wearing the uniform it was for not wearing a tie. As it stated in the article. The principal corrected the guard and life went on. It's making a mountain out of a molehill.

Fortunately the soldier was not a ******* bully like people wish him to be.

You have no idea what liberalism is then. Fox viewer by any chance?

I don't know if it's discrimination. It is bizarre and inappropriate and I'm sure some rent-a-cop was misinterpreting the rules.

That would not have been a pretty scene by any stretch of the imagination.

How stupid can one school be, some parents wear uniforms for their jobs, stories like this make me grateful my children were born when I was much younger and I do not have to deal with this sort of nonsense.
