Nebraska school allows seniors to pose w/ guns for yearbook

Grab your guns – we’re taking school pictures!
Students in a rural Nebraska school district can “tastefully” pose with their firearms in senior portraits used for the yearbook, the Broken Bow school board voted unanimously Monday night.
“The board I believe felt they wanted to give students who are involved in those kinds of things the opportunity to take a senior picture with their hobby, with their sport, just like anybody with any other hobby or sport,” Superintendent Mark Sievering told the Omaha World-Herald.
Parents asked for the change, according to the superintendent, and the board’s 6-0 vote in favor sealed the deal. The rural community of some 3,500 people in central Nebraska, about 65 miles north of Kearney, will maintain its policy of no guns on school grounds.
“So we’re going to have to take these (photos) as a case-by-case basis,” school board member Matthew Haumont told the daily. “But I think that goes with any photo, whether it’s a scantily clad girl or something like that.”
A school district official checked with districts around the state and found half allowed photos with guns. A Kearney photographer, who photographs about 100 seniors each year, also allows students to bring guns to his studio as long as they are unloaded – though many of the shoots are done outside, Brian Baer told the Omaha paper.
“Some schools enforce rules such as their dress code, (so) whatever goes for the dress code also has to apply to the senior picture that would be published in the school’s annual,” he told the World-Herald. “But I’ve never heard of any limitation as far as guns.”
W/e I guess its cultural differences, and as long as they aren't hurting anyone then okay. (Also rather say that hunting is a bit meh but personal opinion)
what's wrong with this? some people like hunting and they're of age, it's not like they're shooting people
Exactly. People are allowed to pose with basketballs, ballet shoes, etc. It is many young people's favorite hobby and the fact that it was ever in question in kind of ridiculous, in my opinion.
what is wrong with america
