That woman looks like she could beat people up! We must make sure women never look strong!

That's really dumb, but i remember getting sent home for having a shirt that said beer on it. We also weren't allowed to play tag at my grade school.

How ridiculous. Luckily we don't have such strict and outright stupid school dress codes here. Frankly I don't see how people want to ban "violent images" when they aren't even violent at all. What next? Ban all sharp object including pens and scissors?

Weird, especially since it's coming from the land of the SJW's. They should be celebrating instead, no?

Owait, maybe it's because it says "Aphrodite". Must be because since Aphrodite is the goddess of sex and love, and sex is evil, it is not allowed.

So she's more violent than Wolverine, Hulk and Ironman who are not banned? Where are the feminist rioters?

Glue for sniffing too.

I see their point. The blood is almost dripping from the lunchbox from all the violence! /s

Are we certain about that? Is there counter cases where boys are walking around with images of other super heroes?

In the letter, it says, "We have defined "Violent Characters" as those who solve problems using violence." Which would mean, all super heroes (basically).

If the counter case proof is in the reddit thread, I ain't looking for it. Reddit's format is so infuriating for me to read that I refuse to visit the site.

Seems a bit over the line since the image on the box isn't violent. I could see how it could be against that rule if she were punching someone, but getting banned because an image could be associated with any kind of conflict seems really overboard. I'm pretty sure Einstein had something to do with creating the atom bomb, but that doesn't mean we should ban showing E=MC2.

My child's school had a super hero theme this year for back to school. They even had Wonder Woman.

I...see.

At least it's a general ban rather than a specific one, but it's still ridiculously stupid.

The library I work at had a Super Hero theme for the Summer Reading Club, and a Wonder Woman cutout used to be right near me!

What the actual fuck? It was probably some overweight heifer that doesn't like seeing other females portrayed as sexy and strong. Seriously though, pick your fucking battles.

While the image on the box there isn't anything violent, Wonder Woman is warrior princess of the Amazons who at times can be very violent.
While I do think it's a very stupid rule, it's a rule that the school has put in place and if you want to attend that school you need to abide by their rules.

I wonder if someone there brought in a lunch box of Bruce Wayne if it would get banned.

Bruce Wayne isn't violent!

...Batman is.

I imagine this school must teach an interesting version of history what with the not allowing violent characters who solve problems through violence.

Eggs have been used to be thrown at people but we don't ban that and custard. Even Care Bears engage in combat.
