When eighth-grader Tyler Carlin arrived at Celina Middle School with his history project, he was immediately called to the principal\u2019s office. Carlin had created a replica of the “battle cross” monument to honor fallen soldiers, using a Nerf gun, boots, and a helmet.<\/p>\n

Despite getting pre-approval from his history teacher, Carlin was suspended for three days for “bringing a look-alike weapon to school and creating a disturbance.” School officials stopped him upon arrival, instructing him to leave his memorial, which also included a PowerPoint presentation, in the administration office.<\/p>\n

Carlin’s parents were called and informed of his suspension. He expressed his frustration, explaining that the project meant a lot to him, as he wanted to honor fallen soldiers, including his dad\u2019s friend, a Vietnam War veteran.<\/p>\n

In an interview, Carlin shared how the battle cross represents the last moments soldiers shared with their friends before heading back to fight, emphasizing the emotional importance of his project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
