OT - school insanity

Good taste doesn't end or begin with the First Amendment. As long as you're not yelling "fire", the kid's got the right to wear that shirt. Every time this gets challenged, the kid wins. The school district ends up footing the bill.

IMO, that bill should be paid by the moron who send him home, not by the taxpayer.

Horsepucky. Apples and oranges.

There ya' go.

The principal should've left him alone. But, if the kid can't get a prom date, he's got nobody to blame but himself.

Sure. Against terrorists.

Yup. I wish shirts like that had been around then.

I want one that says the following; saw it recently:

"Terrorists. They hate you today. They hate you tomorrow. End the cycle of violence. Take away their tomorrow."

I can think of other t-shirts that'd have me not letting my daughter date him that are worse.

something tells me this guy could well be treated as a 'John Galt'.

The shirt bears the image of a military sidearm and on the front pocket says "Volunteer Homeland Security." On the back, over another image of the weapon, are the words "Special issue Resident Lifetime License -- United States Terrorist Hunting Permit -- Permit No. 91101 -- Gun Owner -- No Bag Limit."

No C- student will get the wrong impression from this and act out against Arab-Americans.

Not quite:

And don't forget the fairly recent "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" 5-4 decision by the Supreme court, which allowed schools to regulate student speech even off school property.

Better said might have been, "Most every time...".

This shirt is innocuous at worst.

If it had been my son wearing that shirt, he would've told the principal "I'm the customer, and you work for ME. But, just to be fair, let's poll 200 students and see what they think about this. Maybe I'm wrong."

:)

You sure we don't have the same mailman?
