Three year old Hunter Spanjer is deaf and uses the SEE form of sign language to talk.
Grand Island Public Schools has a policy which forbids any use of any instrument that looks like a weapon, and they consider his signing to look like he's waving a gun.
His family have set up a Facebook page as a way to get their story out and as a petition against the school.
The ACLU and the National Association of the Deaf have joined the family's cause, defending the right of Hunter to say his name.
