A seventh-grader was reportedly banned from wearing his “Star Wars — The Force Awakens” t-shirt to school, because, after all, it depicted make-believe storm troopers shooting make-believe weapons.
And this didn’t happen in some wimpy, politically correct school in Vermont or Washington state; this happened in Texas, according to local ABC affiliate 13 Eyewitness News.
Colton Southern is by all standards a model kid. He’s active in his church, does volunteer work at a park near his Rosenberg home and he’s a boy scout for crying out loud.
But he’s also a huge ”Star Wars” fan.
“It’s political correctness run amok,” Colton’s father, Joe Southern, told the station “You’re talking about a Star Wars t-shirt, a week before the biggest movie of the year comes out. It has nothing to do with guns or making a stand. It’s just a Star Wars shirt.”
Watch the clip, via News 13.
Southern wasn’t the only person who thought the school went too far, and took to social media to express their dismay.
@washingtonpost @ClarkKentwars @peterjholley The libturd school system needs to be burned down and start over. Fire them all, begin again.

And another depicted Peanut’s character Snoopy as a liberal.

Finally there was this:
@washingtonpost I guess the teachers are now banned from wearing Che Guevara, Malcolm X, and Mao shirts since those are symbols of violence.

I wouldn’t count on that one — those people are all heroes to the left.
