But really, if a child's name is Gunther - should he be forced to change his name because it contains the word Gun (even though it's not pronounced that way in German)?

I just think this is pushing things too far. I agree that gun-like objects - squirt guns, rubber-band guns, etc - have no place in the educational day, but to punish a child for their name is just ludicrous.

But of course if schools and neighborhoods were not being shot-up on a regular basis by easy-to-obtain military-style weapons there would be NO need to ever be concerned that an elementary school child's hand gesture may have a fleeting 'gun-shaped' appearance...
