Osama bin Laden is Dead

[JFLuvly]

So I went to Judah’s school to grab him and stopped in the office. The little ‘piece of Lego art’ was still there. I pulled the principal aside when she walked in and asked her to remove it. (There were kids in the office and I didn’t want to talk too loudly.)

She was hesitant, but I was about to make a stink in front of 8 other adults, so she said she’d ‘put it aside’ until she could ‘return it to the owner’ (a fifth grader brought it in from home, i guess, to ‘display’ in his class and the classroom teacher rejected it). One of the kids picked it up and was like, “Oh, this little guy is loose!” and ‘fixed’ it. She handed it to the secretary and I bluntly said, “Get rid of that.”

I’m fine with ObL being dead. I’m kind of worried about ‘round 2’. But a fifth grader bringing in a lego statue/thinger of an assassination to ‘share and display’ with his class? Letting it sit (and kids were so into it, I noticed) all day in the front office?

And then the principal is all tsk tsking me like I’m some kind of jihadist sympathizer.

Wtf. I was ready to chuck it at her. “That’s bad PR, Marci!”

WTF are you talking about? Did I miss a post or something?
