Superintendent Stephen Tomlinson told WTEN the photo does not violate the district’s policy against weapons.

“She is not holding the gun in a malicious manner,” he said. “She is not pointing it anywhere. It’s to me, in my opinion, a nice photograph of a young lady in the Adirondack region that enjoys hunting.”

Common sense in schools is now so rare that this makes Fox News.
