This one deserves a nomination for the Social Engineer of the Year Award.
Little Hunter is three years old and deaf. He signs his name using a sign language system called Signing Exact English, by crossing his index finger and middle finger and then wagging his hands.
His pre-school has policy that bans “any instrument … that looks like a weapon” including his fingers so used.
The name gesture was “not an appropriate thing to do in school,” and administrators were asking Hunter to spell his name out, letter-by-letter, instead of using the sign, spokesman Jack Sheard told the Daily News.
I would suggest that the only sign needed in reply is made by extending one of the middle fingers.
