Ohio Performing Arts Center Advertises 

‘Shoot the President’ Party Game

Katherine Rodriguez at Breitbart reports:

The Olmsted Performing Arts community center in Berea, Ohio, had recently placed an advertisement on its website for a Nerf gun party with an option to play a game called “Shoot the President.”

“There is one president with bodyguards. Everyone else tries to eliminate or shoot the president,” the party’s description stated.

But some community members shared concerns that the game’s theme could be sending kids the wrong message.

“The wrong message”? No kidding. Read the rest here.

The Breitbart report concluded:

The community center’s website scrubbed the description of the offending game and the entire section advertising Nerf gun parties for children as of Saturday afternoon. 

I visited the website. The Announcement is no longer there. But what were they thinking?
