Reason News
Our March issue included a brief article about Patrick Agin, a high
school senior in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Agin, a member of the
Society for Creative Anachronism, had submitted a photo of himself
to the school yearbook in which he wore chainmail and carried a
medieval broadsword.
The picture was rejected on the grounds that it violated his school’s zero-tolerance policy for weapons.
We’re happy to report that the Rhode Island Board of Education has ruled that the decision to ban the photo was “arbitrary and capricious.” Agin’s picture will appear in the yearbook after all. That doesn’t mean common sense is blossoming in Portsmouth, though. The Providence Journal reports that “Sylvia Wedge, chairwoman of the Portsmouth School Committee…said an effort will be made to ensure similar photos aren’t allowed in the future.”
