(<em>Photo: Fox News<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A New York school stopped a National Guard recruiter from passing out t-shirts on campus Friday because the shirts depicted a silhouetted soldier pointing a rifle, an image that school officials and teachers thought was unacceptable in a classroom environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA pointed gun is just not appropriate for a high school,\u201d Alan McCartney, the interim superintendent of the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk School District in Albany County, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/2014\/09\/24\/school-bans-national-guard-t-shirts-over-gun-image\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-york-school-bans-national-guard-t-shirts-due-gun-image\" title=\"New York School bans National Guard t-shirts due to gun image\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA couple of teachers realized it showed a silhouette of a rifleman on it,\u201d McCartney continued. \u201cI realize some students look at the t-shirt and all they see is the National Guard. And that is a good thing. Others look at the shirt and all they see is the rifle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to McCartney, the school&#8217;s policy prohibits students from wearing clothes that contain violence or weapons.<\/p>\n<p>McCartney says the school&#8217;s code is in place to ensure that there is a non-partisan atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are here to educate students to be neutral,\u201d McCartney explained. \u201cTo create an environment where there isn\u2019t a lot of controversy within the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet, controversy is exactly what the decision to ban the shirts has created.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a mother, when I first saw the shirt, I saw the American flag, the silhouette of the soldier,\u201d Jennifer Delisle, whose child attends the school, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbs6albany.com\/news\/features\/top-story\/stories\/tshirt-controversy-at-local-high-school-19632.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-york-school-bans-national-guard-t-shirts-due-gun-image\" title=\"New York School bans National Guard t-shirts due to gun image\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBS 6<\/a>. \u201cI didn\u2019t even notice the gun and the children I\u2019ve talked to said it had nothing to do with the gun being on it. It had to do with the honor and respect to the National Guard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, other parents feel as Ms. Delisle does, but McCartney is standing his ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has nothing to do with patriotism,\u201d he said. \u201cThis has more to do with the world we live in. We live under the shadow of a lot of bad things that have happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the National Guard did not put up a fight, but did note that the shirts did not cause problems in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were happy to oblige the superintendent and remove them from any further distribution,\u201d said Richard Goldenberg, a National Guard spokesman. \u201cWe are always respectful of all different school policies.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A New York school stopped a National Guard recruiter from passing out t-shirts on campus Friday because the shirts depicted a silhouetted soldier pointing a rifle, an image that school officials and teachers thought was unacceptable in a classroom environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":25255,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,216],"tags":[132],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-25254","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-s-h-blannelberry","9":"tag-buzz"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>New York School bans National Guard t-shirts due to gun image<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A New York school stopped a National Guard recruiter from passing out t-shirts on campus because the shirts depicted a silhouetted soldier pointing a rifle.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-york-school-bans-national-guard-t-shirts-due-gun-image\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New York School bans National Guard t-shirts due to gun image\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A New York school stopped a National Guard recruiter from passing out t-shirts on campus Friday because the shirts depicted a silhouetted soldier pointing a rifle, an image that school officials and teachers thought was unacceptable in a classroom environment.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-york-school-bans-national-guard-t-shirts-due-gun-image\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-09-24T23:51:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-18T02:13:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/national-guard-starnes.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
