School Board Bans Yearbook Photo Of Student Posing With Shotgun

Anyone else think this is wrong?
LONDONDERRY, N.H. -- The school board has voted to ban a photo of a student from the senior section of his high school yearbook because he is posed with a shotgun.
But Tuesday's unanimous vote also backed a compromise: Blake Douglass can have the photo published in a "community sports" section, and a new photo -- without the gun but featuring other elements of skeet and trap shooting -- can appear in the seniors' section of the Londonderry High School yearbook.
The compromise wasn't good enough for Douglass, who wanted his senior photo in traditional sportsman's pose, wearing an oxford shirt, navy vest and holding the shotgun over his shoulder.

Because he was aiming for the "classic sportsman" pose, I find nothing wrong with it. His hobby is skeet shooting, another's is Football, so let them pose with the objects of their hobby. A kid just wanting to take a picture holding a Glock for no real reason would be another story.
