A Texas seventh grader who wore a Star Wars t-shirt to school was told it has been banned because 'it has a gun on it.'

Colton Southern from Rosenberg had worn the shirt to school on Thursday which is emblazoned with the Star Wars: The Force Awakens logo and features a Stormtrooper holding a gun.

Administrations at George Junior High School told him to cover up the shirt, which he was told was banned because it has a picture of 'what in the movie is a weapon,' KTRK reported.

'It's political correctness run amok,' Colton's dad, Joe, said.

'You're talking about a Star Wars t-shirt, a week before the biggest movie of the year comes out.

'It has nothing to do with guns or making a stand. It's just a Star Wars shirt.'
The district's secondary school handbook apparently details potential violations of dress code, which includes 'symbols oriented toward violence,' a Lamar Consolidated Independent School District spokesperson said.
