RI school to alter policy that banned soldier hat

COVENTRY, R.I. -The superintendent of a Rhode Island school district that banned a second-grader from wearing a hat with toy soldiers and tiny guns on it says he'll work to change the policy to allow such apparel.

Ken Di Pietro said in an e-mail Saturday to The Associated Press that the no-weapons policy shouldn't limit student expression, especially when the weapons relate to a profession, such as the military or police. Di Pietro said the current policy obscures the school's work to promote patriotism.

Eight-year-old David Morales made the hat by gluing plastic Army figures to a camouflage baseball cap, but Tiogue School officials in Coventry forbid him from wearing it.
