Officials at Nevis (Minn.) High School are refusing to allow a photo of student Samantha Jones into the school yearbook since it shows the senior, who is joining the Army after graduation, posing with a decommissioned 155 mm howitzer cannon on display outside the local Veterans of Foreign Wars post. "Whether it's in military, recreational or sporting form, anything shaped like a gun or knife is banned" from school under the district's "zero-tolerance" weapons policy, explained Superintendent Dick Magaard. The school board deadlocked on a vote whether to overturn the ban, even after the board chairman pointed to war photos hanging on the school's walls. "I back my daughter 100 percent on this," Samantha's mother told the school board. "The lawyer will be calling."
