After reading the recent article about the school punishing a 7 year old child for bringing a 9/11 souvenir from a veteran NOT only would I NOT recommend this school, I would rip my kid out of it. Common sense has gone out the window and these left wing loony's are ruining our schools and our kids. SHAME on every last one of you involved.
