Looks like Big Lake MN Community Schools offered archery as a community ed class. Not there anymore, but google cache had it

Kudos to the Big Lake school administration for eventually thinking this through and making a rational decision. I still fault them for this issue getting as far along as it did before they fixed it. There is absolutely no reason this new 'exception' wasn't proactively made as soon as the situation was encountered. Only blind acceptance of a policy or a blatant political agenda can explain the initial ban of this picture.

School District lifts ban, OKs guns in Big Lake trapshooting team's yearbook photo

School officials in Big Lake, Minn., changed course Thursday and decided that guns can be included in the high school trapshooting team photo in the yearbook.

...

Westerberg said in an interview that this dispute over the team’s yearbook photo has come up before. The team’s first season was last school year, and it “chose not to” submit a photo without the firearms being included, he said.

Here is the policy as it now stands, with the last two sentences newly added:

“All photos, written text, and artwork must conform to school policies and are subject to approval by the yearbook adviser and/or administration. Photos and artwork that violate school policy, display firearms, weapons, drugs, alcohol, inappropriate gestures or poses, and revealing or obscene clothing may be edited or excluded without permission or notification. Exception given to our school-sponsored trap-shooting team which will be allowed to have team pictures in the yearbook, team poster displayed in the school, and any approved photos taken by yearbook staff. These photos would include their firearms.”

I do take exception to them whining about the "social media controversy" though. Something they could have avoided with above-mentioned proactive sanity.

[Westerberg] then went on to lament the “intense conversation around this topic on social media and the phone calls and e-mails we received” because they “only delayed the process.”

And nice flip-flop on things, Mr. Sup. :

That said, Westerberg continued, “As always, we appreciate feedback and comments from the public.”

The sad thing is, if it weren't for some nanny state administrator interpreting MAY as SHALL, this would never have been an issue, and the administration wouldn't have had to change their policy.

Yup. That is how we get treated. They want our activity fees but we are still the red headed step children of the high school activities department.

The absurdity of the left is really the best ad there is for the right
