What a load of crap!!!! Total bullshit!!! Way to honor the people that give up their lives for our freedom to deny them entrance to the schools they protect. http://abc7.com/education/army-dad-barred-from-high-school-because-of-uniform/302500/ ARMY OFFICER DENIED ENTRY TO HIS DAUGHTER'S HIGH SCHOOL FOR WEARING HIS UNIFORM Wednesday, September 10, 2014 ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. -- When Lt. Colonel Sherwood Baker tried to meet his daughter, who was sitting in the counseling office at her high school, the Army officer was denied entrance by school security. When Baker asked why he couldn't enter the office building, security told him that the school's policy does not allow military uniforms because it may 'offend students.' The incident occurred at Rochester Adams High School in Oakland County, MI near Detroit. Sherwood's wife, Rachel Ferhadson, was waiting in the car said that Barker was told he would not be allowed on school property unless he changed his attire. The security officer claimed that men and women dressed in uniform were not allowed on the campus. "They told him some kids might not understand and might be offended. So they gave him a choice, told him he could phone in to the office or go home and change his clothes," said Ferhadson. Baker was told of the same policy by four individual staff members at the school. Baker and his wife arrived at Rochester during normal school hours to settle a dispute in regards to their daughter's class schedule. Rochester superintendent Robert Shaner, himself a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, has since issued an apology to Baker and his family. Shaner said that there is no district policy banning those in uniform, and believes the incident occurred because of staff's misunderstanding of current policy. Baker has served in the U.S. Army for 24 years, including tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Yeah... And even though the school apologized, there were many that denied him entrance to pick up his daughter. It should be common sense to let him in. Fucking idiots
I served my country and I'm not offended. I'm sure the rule is to not let anybody wearing fatigues in the school. Purely based on past school shootings. Stupid rule/stupid security guard. Sent from my baller ass iPhone 5S...... FAMS!
"Shaner said that there is no district policy banning those in uniform, and believes the incident occurred because of staff's misunderstanding of current policy." This part seems relevant
Here's the important part: Unreal. Someone may be offended by the uniform that helps provide the freedom for that person to attend school? I think I'll side with letting that person get their panties in a wad.
Doesn't seem relevant because he makes no mention of what that current policy is. Sounds more like he's covering his own ass. I'm interested to hear if it has something to do with wearing fatigues to school (IE students) or something to do with wearing a uniform for recruiting purposes.
Still doesn't change the fact that he wasn't allowed in school because he wore his uniform. The school is still on the hook because it happened. Just like the school would be on the hook if they thought the n word could be allowed if black teachers said it to black students.
I can see this potentially being the case. This is one of the things I hate about journalism. Would it be difficult at all to find out the policy, and convey that within the article?
NO, ITS BECAUSE MUSLIM STUDENTS WILL GET OFFENDED AND HURT WHEN THEY SEE USA UNIFORMS, JUST LIKE HOW ILLEGALS GET OFFENDED WHEN BROS WEAR AMERICAN FLAG T-SHIRTS ON CINCO DE MAYO.
