A security guard and three other employees at a high school in the suburbs of Detroit, Mich. refused to allow a lieutenant colonel in the United States Army to enter the school because he was wearing his military uniform.

The incident occurred on Tuesday at Rochester Adams High School, reports Detroit Fox affiliate WJBK.

The man denied entry to the school is Lt. Col. Sherwood Baker, a 24-year Army veteran whose military career has included visits to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Baker was visiting the taxpayer-funded public school with his daughter, he said, because he wanted to speak with her counselor about her schedule.

And I'd invite every serving soldier in the area to join them, in full dress uniform with *their* doodads.

Fucking morons.

Without having read the article, I was thinking maybe it was because he was in camo gear, and they were worried students might see him and be alarmed, but after reading the article that didn't seem to be the case.

It's pretty likely that this story will air on Fox with a headline like "Democrats want to ban soldiers from educational system", while it's about an isolated incident.

A very bad one, at that.

If their motive was not to "scare" the student body with someone dressed in army fatigues.. I guess I would be less harsh upon their screwed up judgement. With the fear of school violence, I could see someone thinking that it might be a good idea to refrain from it.. in error.

But if it was truly because it might offend someone.. then any freedoms we have are pretty much even more meaningless than thought. Can't imagine the anger someone that has actually served might feel towards the decision.

Dumb a$$ decision... happens often.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
