School removes toy soldiers with guns from cupcakes, calls them 'insensitive'
A third grade boy wanted to celebrate his ninth birthday by sharing cupcakes with classmates, but educators at Schall Elementary School in Caro, Mich., removed the toy soldiers that decorated the treats, calling them "insensitive," WNEM reported Thursday.
According to WNEM, the boy's mother "whipped up" a batch of 30 cupcakes for the class, topping them off with plastic toy soldiers -- the same kind countless children have played with for decades.
About 15 minutes after the cupcakes were delivered to the school, Casey Fountain's wife received a call from the principal saying the cupcakes could not be served because the toy soldiers were carrying guns.
