You have got to be kidding me.
Hunter Spanjer says his name with a certain special hand gesture, but at just three and a half years old, he may be forced to change it. "He's deaf, and his name sign, they say, is a violation of their weapons policy," explained Hunter's father, Brian Spanjer.
Supposedly, God looks out for fools, drunks and little children. In this case, I'm guessing that the fools who made the decision were drunk at the time, which is the only way I can imagine that God would favor them over the children. I am also sure that, like Pratchett's Auditors, they came to a group decision so that no one of them could be held responsible for such idiocy.
In a just world, public shaming and mockery of these imbeciles should just be the start of their troubles.
In the world as it is... I expect that the teacher's union will scream bloody murder at the thought that some administrators might lose their jobs, say, over something as trivial as bullying a deaf child into changing his name.
