Cupcakes With Army Soldiers Get Kid In Hot Water At School

Story here. Excerpt:

'A 9-year-old boy’s birthday cupcakes sparked a school controversy that just keeps growing, with scores of people lining up against a school principal who found the cupcake’s topping “inappropriate.”

The boy was chided, and so were his parents, for cupcakes featuring little green Army men on the top.

Schall Elementary School principal Susan Wright called the parents at home and said the cupcakes were insensitive in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting. School staff pulled off the Army men before they were served.'

... as long as they're men running around somewhere far away killing and dying to serve our (purported) interests.

Small plastic figurines of soldiers on cupcakes, though? That's a no-no.

(I wonder if the principal would have objected if they had been "Army women" instead of "Army men" figurines...)
