Story here. Excerpt:

'Teachers reprimanded two seven-year-old boys for playing army games - because it amounted to 'threatening behaviour'.

The youngsters were disciplined after they were spotted making gun-shapes with their hands.

Staff at Nathaniel Newton Infant School in Nuneaton, Warks., even told the boys' parents to 'reprimand' them.

A father of one of the boys said: 'This is ridiculous. How can you tell a seven-year-old boy he cannot play guns and armies with his friends.'
