My son is a dead Marine. You people are all expletive deleted ingrates. You owe an apology to every person in this country who has a hole in their home and their heart. Shame on the lot of you. Like Congress, you should all be thrown out. Miki Gilliland Bellingham WA

As a veteran of the US Navy - No - As a citizen of these fine United States, I'm embarrassed by your school's over-the-top ignorance such as is the case with young Mr. David Morales. I'm ashamed that this overzealous approach to "zero tolerance" regarding "weapons" has gotten so grossly out of control.
Yes, weapons are against school rules and regulations - every red-blooded American has heard that dead horse beaten way too many times. In this horribly disturbing incident, however, he little inch-long soft plastic "guns" can IN NO WAY be classified as "weapons". They are simply "likenesses". Would I be correct in assuming that NOWHERE in your school system - be it on posters, in textbooks, or in the library's reference section - exists a photo of a soldier with a rifle in his hands? These little plastic "likenesses" of guns are no more dangerous than such a photograph, and this kind of knee-jerk overreaction is exactly the kind of thing that finds me embarrassed to call myself an American. This kind of censure (and yes, this is most definitely censure) is obviously aimed at appeasing the few crybaby lobbyists out there making all the noise about rubbish such as this, at the expense of the freedoms of our CHILDREN. For my part, I am glad that every tax dollar your district receives comes out of someone else's pocket and not mine. Your district should probably ban shoes, too, because they can be used as weapons. Mr. DiPietro should be ashamed. Not of the way this incident gained immediate national media attention, not of the way this incident was handled, but of the fact that something so absurd and petty was EVER an incident in the first place. That this was ever an issue to begin with makes me sick to my stomach. This crap makes me want to move to Rhode Island just so I can vote the ignorant saps off of the school board. Let the dictatorship go find REAL jobs, instead of slathering children in zealot-like propaganda. There HAS to be something more productive to do in Coventry than ruining the town's public image with hogwash such as this.

I read about your ban on soldier figures. Are you removing pictures of soldiers from your history books too? Maybe you need to stop singing our national anthem too!

You folks have to be crazy to punish a child about a plastic toy he had at school. I spend 10 years in the Navy and Marine Corps and you come up with something like this. How crazy can you be? You should be a shamed.Why don't we take all guns away from everyone so only the criminals can have guns? YOU GOT TO BE NUTS.

Sir/Ma'am:
I am a member of the US Army SOF. As we prepare to leave OUR families to protect YOU, I find it disheartening to see that you would not allow David Morales to show his respect for our service. I live in California where the regulations for bringing weapons to school, I am sure, are the some of the most stringent in our country. Nevertheless, please do not stop your students for showing their support. In the scheme of things, we are those little soldiers operating inside the bigger picture.
If you walked in our shoes, you would understand what it means to us! I hope that David follows our tradition of protection this great country...
Respectfully,

Ms.Richtarik:
I salute your firm, patriotic stand against the threatened attack by the terrorists and their guns on a hat of that cunning 8 year old boy,
Surely our country would be safer with more vigilant principals like you in our schools.
May your tribe decease.

You should be so very ashamed, or better yet, move to a foreign country that does not have the freedoms that we have in the United States...thanks to our military. Not allowing a kid to wear a cap with toy soldiers on it, with or without weapons, is absolutely ridiculous. You need to get on your knees, thank God for the soldiers who have given their lives for our country and ask God to change your heart...oh, but you probably do not believe in God.

Your ignorance is laughable in the fact that the entire staff has broken your zero tolorance policy if you have ever carried a Massachusetts state quarter on school property. You should suspend youselves for your stupidity.

Your policy regarding an 8 year-old boy that put a couple of miniature plastic toy soldiers on his is the height of absurdity! You are a fine example of of why I did NOT spend 20 years as a U.S. Marine. I cannot fathom defending unAmericans like your staff, from the principal on down and every member of your school board that agrees with your ignorance!
