An 8-year-old's school project has caused a stir in West Richland.
The third-grader at Wiley Elementary included a photo of his
father, Army Reserve Cpl. David Henes, in an autobiography assignment.
The boy identified Henes as his hero.
But
school leaders asked that the photo be replaced because it shows the
soldier, who's in uniform, holding an M-16. The request upset Henes,
34, because carrying a weapon is part of his job, he said.
"It's just a picture of an American soldier," he said.
Mike Kirby, the district's assistant superintendent, said the request
wasn't meant to be hurtful or offensive. School staffers thought a
picture of Henes in uniform without a weapon would be more appropriate
for the classroom, he said.
Henes agreed to switch out the photos, and his son was able to present the project, he said.
But "we're providing freedom. Part of that freedom (comes because)
we're an armed force," he said. "... I don't think this is a fair
thing." .

Let's
be clear. Richland, WA is not part of the Seattle-Olympia
Corridor of stinking liberal horse fornicating democrat canker blossoms
that have the state in a chokehold. Quite illegally,
it must be noted. Richland's 4th Congressional District is solid
Republican. The district did not vote for the HIM. So, how
did this happen? Before I prescribe radiation treatments, on the
order of 20 kilotons worth, a nice laxative may do the trick.
Mike Kirby, and every other teacher of a like mind needs to be flushed
down the nearest available toilet. It's something the abused
children from Wiley Elementary need to witness. What? Do I
have to come there and do it for you?
