don't like kids playing soldiers in the playground (ie they are crazy leftie loons) or:
don't like repeatedly being threatened with gang-like gestures when they are trying to teach a lesson (ie they are standing up for themselves against pain-in-the-neck kids, whose parents then seize an opportunity to change the story a bit and moan)
I can't work out what really happened and the comments at the end of the various newspaper articles seem to fuel both options...

Oooh, I’ve always wanted to be first!
As a father of 2 boys and a secondary school teacher my view is…. not enough male teachers in primary schools.
The context of this isn't altogether made clear in either of those newspaper reports, but it does appear that the incident took place in a classroom and possibly even in a lesson - which rather puts it outside the scope of an innocent playground game. I suspect the real issue is whether the mock "shooting" gesture at the teacher was made with a deliberately malicious intent or not.
Hi there
I can confirm that the incident did take place in the classroom during lesson time. I'm sure you will agree that this is completely unacceptable in a learning environment. I can assure you that the school has never stopped children from playing these types of games on the playground.
Well thank you, Mr. Mrs. Miss, Ms. Anonymous for verifying a version. That's cracked it as far as I'm concerned.
