I would not be opposed to the school not allowing verbal names to be used. If a parent named their child Shithead, Bastard, Dickface, it certainly is appropriate that the school not be tolerant to that.

If this school has made it a practice to prevent such things, which this story does not speak to, then I could certainly understand their intent. I'm confident that the officials are astute enough to know that any approach they take that will be affecting a handicapped child will get them blown out of the water, and, they are.

But then again, I hear comments blasting this country for being too tolerant, and now we have a story of a school taking a stand, and now tolerance is being demanded.....

I get it, it's an actual sign and is a legitimate language, but it might be best that this child not turn into a young adult, make a trip to Compton, and then introduce himself to new friends....

OK...what if the kids name was Gunner? Not allow him be recognized by his legal name or be expelled?

It's not a question of tolerance. Like someone said earlier. It's about common sense.

Thank God Dick Trickle never went to that school....lol.
