He doesn't, and when he does, his son is more likely to benefit more from good attentive teaching of reading, writing, and 'rithmatic than from being allowed to play with pretend guns.
School is for learning to read, to write, math, geography, science, etc. Whether kids are allowed to bring toy weapons or dress like soldiers is just not important. Yet from the posts on this board, you'd think exactly the opposite, because people here seem a lot more interested in whether the teachers are politically overcorrect feminists than whether they teach your kids to read and multiply.
And some of those posts are by people who don't have any kids in any school system at all, so how "qualified" are they to comment?
Really, most parents should worry more about if Johnny is learning to read, than about if Johnny's teacher is a feminist. Who cares. If my kid has a great teacher, she can be a Marxist feminist vegan lesbian for all I care.

John, if he has a son and the boy is a victim of "over-reaching political correctness" would be at the top of his list of actual school concerns.
This is a big deal and if your kids are in private school, you probably don't have adequate information to make an informed comment.
