ST. PAUL, MN – Today, April 27th, 2017, Rep. Nick Zerwas (R-Elk River) sent a letter to Big Lake School Superintendent, Steve Westerberg to encourage him to do what he can to overturn Athletic Director, Logan Midthun’s decision to not allow this year’s trap shooting team photo in the yearbook.
“This is political correctness run amok,” said Zerwas. “Big Lake schools need to reverse their decision and treat all extracurricular activities equally by allowing the trap shooting team’s photo in the yearbook. The trap shooting team safely and properly displaying their firearms in a photo is no different than baseball players with their bats, or basketball players holding a ball in their team photos.”
The trap shooting team photo shows each trap shooter with their respective firearms.
