Is this is what is being taught in school!

MESA, Ariz. -

He's not the type of armed man on campus you'd expect parents to be concerned about -- but apparently a police officer dropping off his daughter at school was just too scary for some parents in Mesa.

And the school principal actually called that officer to ask him not to wear his uniform on campus ever again.

The issue was that other parents were concerned because he had a gun.

The officer, who works for the Coolidge Police Department, is a parent of a kid that goes to Entz Elementary School in Mesa.

The request made by school officials to not wear his uniform and gun on campus shocked and upset a lot of people.

Does this make sense?

He needs to home-school that kid.

I thought the above sentence, on first reading, was misleading.

I can understand this -- in AZ.

Which doesn't mean that the PC crowd at Coolidge Police Department won't chastise the officer for walking on The Officials' own Campus.

A Phoenix, Ariz., police officer who brought his daughter to elementary school wearing his full uniform was asked by the principal to change before he enters the facility because his holstered gun was scaring parents.

Scott Urkov works for the Coolidge Police Department and posted his reaction to the principal’s request on his Facebook account:

“Nothing like your kids school calling and asking if I could not come to pick up my daughter in uniform cause parents were concerned when their kids came home telling them there was a man at school with a gun. Are you freaking kidding me?”

Mr. Urkov’s daughter goes to Entz Elementary School.

A spokeswoman for the school district said a few parents were concerned about the presence of an armed and uniformed police officer on the property. She also said the perhaps Mr. Urkov took the request too seriously.

“It was not the intent of the principal to offend him,” the spokeswoman said.

And at least one parent said the school’s reaction was shocking, saying that students were more likely to feel assured at the officer’s presence, rather than scared.
