They Aren't Happy to See Him

April 28, 2009

A teacher at Wiley Elementary School, in Richland, Washington, asked students to put together their autobiographies. One 8-year-old boy included a photograph of his father, David Henes. The photo showed Henes, who is a member of the Army National Guard, in uniform and holding his rifle. School officials told the boy to remove that photo, saying it wasn't appropriate for the classroom.
