DAUPHIN, Pa. -- A Pennsylvania school district says a fifth-grader's face paint marking the death of terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden is too disruptive for class.
Connor Tressler's face paint showed a flag, the date of bin Laden's death and the letters U-S-A. The artwork drew the attention of administrators at Middle Paxton Elementary School near Harrisburg on Monday.
Central Dauphin School District spokeswoman Shannon Leib says the paint violates a requirement that student dress be "conducive to a scholastic atmosphere."
She says the boy's mother decided to remove him from school for the day.

In this case the school administration is exactly right. While we all join the 5th grader in being joyful that Osama is gone, to go to school with one's face painted black would be a huge disruption. One does not have unbridled freedom of expression.
Well,
The child was showing his Love for the USA; uncommon in our classrooms.
I am sure they let the wanta-be Muslims off of class for an hour to pray like they do in schools in Maryland. Cannot wear a cross but you get time to pray to ALLAH and not do school work.
What a joke. How about putting in a referendum for the voters to vote on what can and cannot be shown in the class room? Our tax dollars pay the Teacher HUH?
